25.5
Robinson to Rahane, out Caught by Buttler!! Edged and gone! Rahane departs at the stroke of lunch. Good length ball straightens ever so slightly around the fifth stump zone and Rahane has a poke at it. No feet movement and sticks his bat out against a ball he could have left alone. Ends up getting a faint outside nick that's been gobbled up by the keeper. Robinson's elated and Rahane is distraught. And, it's lunch on day one... Rahane c Buttler b Robinson 18(54) [4s-3]
