By Stephan Shemilt BBC Sport in The Oval Jos Buttler’s late hitting went some way towards rescuing England after a familiarly batting performance on the opening day of the final Ashes Test at The Oval against Australia. Buttler crunched on three sixes in his 64 out not to take England to 271-8 with tailender Jack Leach that was reliable within an unbroken stand of 45. The home side had previously dropped five wickets to slide out of 170-3 to 226-8. That position might have been worse because England had while Rory Burns overturned an lbw decision about the way. When they were Australia captain Tim Paine’s decision looked like backfiring. 4-35 gave the tourists the ascendancy for Buttler, just by Mitchell Marsh to launch his counter-attack that was sensational. By the end, there was not the impression that England remain short on what looks like a surface, of level, however they have been kept in the game by Buttler. And though that might require England to find a way to discount the Steve Smith the pitch may dry out enough for a pursuit to be catchy for Australia, then post a challenging target. There had been times when this afternoon had an end-of-term atmosphere with Australia having retained the Ashes, and both sides showed signs of limping towards an intense summer’s conclusion. The shock has been matched with the decision to omit Mitchell Starc in favour of pace bowler Peter Siddle. There were times when the two calls looked like mistakes. Catches went batting conditions were perfect, down, Siddle had been the lacklustre of their Australian bowlers and, like the sun shone in the afternoon. But, the temptation, their inability to occupy the crease, not throw wickets away of England, meant they couldn’t take advantage. And as Australia enhanced, they accepted the upper hand as a result of the presents from a number of England’s batsmen along with a combo of Marsh’s bowling. Came Buttler, who changed with a few striking. Even with every fielder on the boundary, he could not be contained by Australia , to the delight of a formerly Oval. England had a real opportunity to punish Paine when Burns and Root were incorporating 76 both sides of lunch. Burns scored his toes and off through the covers. Root, following a tricky string, was willing himself on to the foot. He was put down off Siddle on 30 in by wicketkeeper Paine on 25 off Cummins, then by second slide and leg on 24 Smith. When Burns reluctantly shovelled a tug into mid-on they were , however it was. The skipper has attracted wonderful deliveries this one which nipped off to choose the off bail from Pat Cummins and all series was another wonder, albeit Root was in no place. Buttler saw the majority of the meltdown but eventually found a ready ally England battled to conserve the Test, at Leach, that affirmed Ben Stokes in Headingley and lived for an hour. Buttler had performed a few sumptuous cover drives Before he even upped the ante, nevertheless they were overshadowed by successive straight sixes away Hazlewood plus a meaty blow within the leg-side rope off the exact same man. There were times when he shielded Leach such as fending off the second new ball but 10 had faced 31 deliveries because of his 10 not out. Support the Australia speed assault and all-rounder Marsh came in for batsman Travis Head to play with his first Test since December. There were times when he outshone the remaining bowlers by glancing the ball. He had after Root fell, was that the architect of England’s collapse, Stokes miscue a pull then. The two Jonny Bairstow and Chris Woakes played across inswingers to become lbw either side of Sam Curran, who had already survived being leg-before into a Cummins no-ball. Into his own 16th over, and as Buttler was beginning to defraud, Marsh pulled up with cramp and had to leave the area. He managed one more over and returned, but by there, Buttler was into his stride that was clean-hitting. Former England captain Michael Vaughan:”England must have been on course for 400 to put a few scoreboard pressure on Steve Smith. “A blend of a lack of application, poor thinking and some decent bowling methods England have dropped. “Australia is going to be delighted with this place given they really had a poor moment.” England’s Jos Buttler, talking to TMS:”It’s wonderful to contribute just a small bit. The boys well in the daytime and we put ourselves into a fantastic position but could not capitalise. “Batting has been hard work and not enjoyable this series so I wanted to take the shackles off and perform with a grin in my face.” Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, talking to Sky Sports:”I was like a child at Christmas this afternoon. It is sometimes a tour whenever you are not playing. I wanted to try and get an opportunity at any point and it was nice to produce. “The ball came out pretty well. I only wanted to come today and have some wickets.” Analysis and view by the BBC’s cricket correspondent.
