We are in-charge of the game: Jos Buttler

England batsman Jos Buttler said that the hosts are in the driver's seat in the fifth and final Test after reducing India to 174-6 at stumps on day two at the Oval here.

Buttler's 89 helped England recover from 198-7 on day one and score 332 runs in their first innings even as India struggled in bowler-friendly conditions.

"Yes, I think so (we are in-charge of the game)," Buttler said to a question after the end of second day here.

"The lead at the moment is quite healthy, and I hope if we can back up the performance today we can be in a really strong position in the game."
"The two of them are immensely competitive and have a great duel all through the series."
