Buttler's ruthless century in Dubai is the fastest in England's ODI history

Having set the record for England's fastest ODI century during the 2014 Lord's encounter against Sri Lanka, Buttler rewrote history by eclipsing his own mark in the space of 18 months. A struggling Pakistan side were at the receiving end of his brutal knock.

Much before Sarfraz Ahmed shepherded Pakistan's white-ball resurgence, the then outfit led by Azhar Ali comprised a frail bowling attack. Whilst Mohammad Irfan, Anwar Ali and Wahab Riaz formed an underwhelming seam unit, part-time off-spinner Shoaib Malik doubled up as the fifth bowling option. Needless to say, carnage ensued in Dubai.

Armed with Jason Roy's tone-setting century, England raced off the blocks. Buttler arrived at the crease during the 36th over and decided to go nuclear. He reached the three-figure mark off just 46 balls (which remains the joint-seventh fastest in ODI history). His unbeaten 116, consisting of 10 boundaries and 8 sixes, spawned a mammoth total of 355.
