Australia v England - Game 3
Buttler was at his rampaging best for England

Armed with the license to attack this England limited-overs side is as intimidating as they come. Nobody personifies it as well as Jos Buttler, that wicket-keeper batsman with 360° shots in his repertoire. He walked in with England stuck in a rut on a sticky wicket at 107/4 having lost their sheet anchor, Joe Root, to Josh Hazlewood.

The step up was pretty quick. Buttler did not waste his time and went about his business at run a ball with help from Eoin Morgan. That didn't last long but Buttler wasn't worried as he stepped onto the next level, hoisting Pat Cummins for successive sixes to get into his nineties. He smothered the last ball of the innings for a couple of runs to get to his fifth ODI hundred.
