England vs South Africa 2017: 2nd ODI, 5 talking points

#4 Buttler and Ali finish in style

Buttler found his mojo towards the end of the innings and took England to 330

If England thought that Ben Stokes' wicket in the 44th over would peg them back they were quite wrong. Jos Buttler, who had until then looked rather uncomfortable at the wicket, stepped up in the company of Moeen Ali.

An over after Stokes' dismissal, the duo smacked Andile Phehlukwayo for 22 in 6 balls with 5 boundaries to reveal their intentions of not backing down.

Buttler had by then got into his groove and went on to smash a half-century off 46 balls. Amla let off Moeen Ali in Maharaj's over, the third dropped catch off the debutant spinner in the game. Ali finished on 33 off 19 balls while Buttler remained unbeaten on 65 off 53 deliveries.
