Buttler's gritty fifty keeps England in hunt against Pakistan
Jos Buttler's unbeaten 68 and Ben Stokes's composed 44 have kept England very much alive in this ODI series clash at the Gaddafi Stadium. England need 33 more runs off the final 16 balls to clinch a remarkable chase of 311.
Pakistan had posted a competitive 310/7 on the back of Babar Azam's quality 67 and Mohammad Rizwan's brisk half-century. Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf were the key bowlers as England lost wickets at regular intervals.
Buttler has been defiant at the crease, finding the boundary at will whenever the scoring rate demanded. The partnership between Buttler and Stokes has been the cornerstone of this chase, adding 112 runs together.
Wide outside off, Buttler cuts it hard through backward point. England making their move!
Good length, pushed to mid-on, they take a comfortable single.
Full toss! Buttler rocks back and pulls it over long-leg. What a shot! England need 37 off 18.
Driven down the ground, deep mid-off cuts it off. Two runs.
Short ball, Stokes pulls it over mid-wicket. Magnificent shot!
Flatter and quicker, Buttler makes room and lofts it over extra cover. That's massive!
Yorker, Buttler digs it out to long-on. Smart cricket.
Excellent delivery, angling into the stumps. Stokes plays it back.
