        If https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Samson says it's so then it probably is, unlikely though it sounds. First time in a Test Match, not all first class cricket.

          For me, Buttler is the star of that side, after Stokes, when they’re all available, pick him as a batsman.

            And I got an email from Lord’s today about tickets for June’s test going on sale. Fingers crossed all round.

              OK, so who gets to play Wicketkeeper? I mean properly play...?
              NOT Butler.
              FOAKES, please!

                plus Foakes has a 1st class batting average of 37 (41.5 in 5 tests) and has a good defence. Playing both Butler and Foakes in later series would strengthen the team IMO. I think the openers are still a problem as India will deploy their spinners early like Sri Lanka did

                    Excellent performance by Wor Lads and Root is on an amazing roll ....

                      India will come back from this, probably later this week. What a series in prospect.

                            Don’t think Butler put a glove wrong in this test. But now he’s going home, so Foakes will get his chance

                              They say that England will be weakened by Buttler leaving but Folkes is clearly the better gloveman and I suspect he may well score as many runs as Buttler did.....
