Jos Buttler's stunning 50-ball century took England to 373 for three against Pakistan in the second one-day international at Southampton on Saturday. Buttler's 110 not out featured nine sixes, including a straight drive off Hasan Ali that took him to three figures. Such was his command that Buttler’s second fifty took him a mere 18 balls, with new father Buttler making a 'rocking the baby' gesture to celebrate bringing up a century that also included four fours. A Pakistan attack missing the ill Mohammad Amir took a pounding, with Hasan conceding 81 runs from his maximum 10 overs and Afridi 80. But the return of left-arm quick Afridi for a second spell saw Pakistan make the breakthrough.
