Keaton Jennings wouldn't have been anywhere near the plane after this summer if I were selecting; very pleased to be proved wrong.

England's former fielding coach is currently on The Cricket Social discussing all things fielding. If you have any questions then send them in!
What's the best position to park your worst fielder?
The British sports fan is rarely happy. I'm sure people tweeted us on Super Saturday that Jessica Ennis' javelin was a disgrace.

Pete Stanger: Jennings is clearly decent in sub-continental conditions and against spin, but on a quick wicket against decent pace he’s average at best. Can we just take him on sub-continent tours and leave him out the rest of the time?
Ben Thapa: Does this mean we can look forward to another summer of watching Jennings poking at the moving ball outside off stump?
Jennings 114, Buttler 34
Where do we go from here? No signs of a declaration, and I wouldn't expect one either. Still two full days to come after this, don't forget. Bat, bat, bat. Pile on the runs.
That's Keaton Jennning's PB in Tests. England lead by a whopping 391
Jennings 112, Buttler 33
As I expected, Jos Buttler goes after the new ball and smacks it for four. A second bowler in two overs has a sore hand as Dilruwan Perera stops a ball back from Buttler and winces in pain.
Cricket balls are hard, kids. Keaton Jennings then almost comes unstuck as a faster ball sneaks between bat and pad. Jennings has equalled his highest score now of 112.
Sri Lanka take the new ball as Dhananjaya de Silva limps off for some treatment. It will be spinner Dilruwan Perera to take it.
Ouch indeed. If you were being super critical you could put that down as a caught and bowled chance, but Keaton Jennings absolutely middled it back.
Replays show that Dhananjaya de Silva got a touch, but it was right on the end of his thumb. He needs some treatment. That looks nasty.
Jennings 111, Buttler 28
It's after tea, England's opener has hit a ton, and the Barmy Army are in full voice. There's a new ball due, Jos Buttler might be asking Sri Lanka to take it.
Put one in the fort!
Jennings nearly takes the head off Dhananjaya de Silva, smashing a drive back over the bowler's head. Did he get a hand to that?!

Having stepped out of Cook's huge shadow, Jennings has visibly blossomed. Great innings.
Mark S, London
Always great to see Lancashire players do well for England but I suspect Starc, Cummins and co will be licking their lips at the prospect of bowling to Jennings in next summers Ashes.
Ste, St Helens

A rare false shot, Jos Buttler done in the flight a touch and getting a leading edge, squirting the ball out to the covers when he was aiming through mid-wicket.

England lead by 372
A huge lead building for England now as this pair bring up their 50 partnership. The highest successful run chase in Galle is only 99. Sri Lanka would need some sort of sporting miracle from here to prevent a first England away win in 13 attempts.

This edition of the Barmy Army is looking pretty corpulent - they have not come to Sri Lanka on the back of much training by the looks of them.
Jennings 102, Buttler 23
Yes! Allan Lamb, I think the first, and one of the last, sportspeople who I asked for an autograph, in a Northampton curry house in about 1991.
Legend.

I think it is vindication for Ed Smith's selection policy. I am not sure that many people would have retained Keaton Jennings after this summer, but he has cashed in the credit that he built up in India a couple of years back when he looked very good in similar conditions.

Carl Collen: Well played Keaton Jennings!! Top knock that
Chris Ward: Pleased for Jennings. Hope this kick starts his career in Test cricket.
Rachel T: Good lad Keaton!
After all that psychological build-up it must be hard to reset. The real masters were great at that.
Keaton Jennings works Akila Dananjaya square for a single. I'd imagine he may take a backseat for a bit now and let Jos Butller off the leash.
