In what was yet another spectacle at the SCG, England managed to seal the series 3 nil. After having lost the Ashes 4-0, this was a tremendous comeback by the visitors. For a long time, it seemed Australia were in the game before Jos Buttler’s breathtaking knock. The wicketkeeper-batsman smashed a fantastic knock to ensure England crossed 300. Scoring 100 runs not out from just 83 balls, Buttler hit six boundaries and 4 maximums. When he came to the crease, England were in a spot of bother as they were 107/4. Their most prominent batsman Joe Root was dismissed.

Buttler and skipper Eoin Morgan put up a 65 run partnership for the fifth wicket. While Moeen Ali got out soon, it was the Buttler-Woakes combo that took apart the Australian bowling attack. They put up an unbeaten 113 run partnership from just 71 balls for the seventh wicket.

The Poms managed to post a total of 302/6 in their quota of 50 overs. As for Australia, they were reduced to 44/2 as both David Warner and Cameron White were back to the pavilion. Aaron Finch missed out on a third consecutive century as he got out on 62. There was quite a controversy over Steve Smith’s dismissal as it seemed Buttler grassed the ball.

Mitchell Marsh scored a spectacular half century but got out on the wrong time. It all fell upon Marcus Stoinis to take the hosts through and avoid a series defeat. The right-handed batsman bought Australia close to victory with a quickfire half century. However, Australia fell short by runs.

Twitter was at it’s splendid best as they witnessed a thrilling game at the SCG. Jos Buttler was lauded for his stupendous knock. That was followed by the discussion regarding Steve Smith dismissal which is surely going to spark a debate in the upcoming days.
