CRICKET
Indian fans on Twitter praised Jos Buttler destroying Pakistan during ENG vs PAK 1st ODI.
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.
An extraordinary 'inside out' six off Hasan over long-off was arguably the pick of his shots, although a pull off Shaheen Shah Afridi that cleared the rope and took him into the 90s was almost as impressive.
Together with England captain Eoin Morgan (71 not out) he shared an unbroken partnership of 162. Earlier, Jason Roy (87) and Jonny Bairstow (51) laid a platform for the innings with an opening stand of 115 after Morgan won the toss. Test captain Joe Root made 40 before he holed out, his exit paving the way for Buttler's blistering innings.
A Pakistan attack missing the ill Mohammad Amir took a pounding, with Hasan conceding 81 runs from his maximum 10 overs and Afridi 80.
Many English cricketers, both present and past, praised Buttler for his heroics.
What a pleasure to watch @josbuttler in full flow .. #ENGvPAK ..
