66-5 at lunch. 206 is still some way off, with only 5 wickets remaining.

Brilliant Buttler. What a game, but, 5-nil.

Great finish at the real Old Trafford. England win by 1 wicket with 9 balls to spare. Buttler saw them home with 110 not out off 121 balls. They were 114-8 at one stage, and the win seemed unlikely there, but Rashid gave great support to Buttler and Ball saw off the last couple of overs.

You won’t see a better innings in a one dayer than that one by Butler amazing innings.

 

[Paladin]

Near perfect from Buttler there. He took a single to leave Ball facing the second ball of an over. But he saw it through. Brilliant one day innings.

After all the hammering's we've handed out in this series, beating the ozzies like that was almost better, at 4-0, a nail biting defeat for them couldn't really be bettered.

Buttler and Roy having fun in this T20 against Australia.
