Boult to Root, OUT, runs down the wicket, leans out to drive outside off and nicks to the keeper!The change works and Boult

brings to an end a superb innings from Root. Leaning across to meet this, wasn't in control and got a thin edge behind

Joe Root just keeps scoring runs, no matter the format of the cricket. Any chance we can clone him?

...

19 runs from that over. England finally making use of a power play.

50 for Buttler. He hits everything so hard.

100 to Jos Buttler !

Seventh-wicket partnership world record in ODIs...

Current partnership 139 runs, 14.3 overs, RR: 9.58 (Rashid 43, Buttler 92)

McClenaghan to Buttler, FOUR, there's the hundred! 66 balls,  8)

full just outside off and Buttler drives it past extra-cover with excellent timing,  what a superb innings this has been

What a magnificent hundred for Buttler. He might not get the same press as McCullum, ABDV, Maxwell, Gayle etc but he is on par with them for my money. Highest 7th wicket partnership in ODI history to boot. 341/6 (44.3 ovs).

Henry to Rashid, FOUR, fifty for Rashid in 37 balls :back of a length, Rashid onto it quickly and whacks it through square leg!

Mammoth six. You can't bowl to Buttler at the moment. Everything being dispatched to the boundary. And just as I type that Buttler goes. What a brilliant knock. 177 run 7th wicket partnership.
