T20I tri-series: Australia vs England - 3rd match, 5 talking points

#2 Jos Buttler tries to provide stability

The only player who showed signs of intent was Jos Buttler, who walked in to bat after the dismissal of Malan. The skipper managed to thwart the challenge that was posed by the Aussie bowlers en route a fighting knock of 46 in 49 deliveries. He, along with Sam Billings put on 43 for the fifth wicket, with the latter chipping in with a 23-ball 29 that was laced with four boundaries and a six.

However, Buttler’s knock was a tad too slow and even though it did bring respectability to the total, it hardly was able to push the Aussies.
