After yet another six, Buttler salutes the bowler (Cottrell) who likes to salute when he takes a wicket.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

150 in 76 ball from Buttler!

And bowled next ball. A fantastic knock.

England finish on 418-6. Buttler out for 150

England have world record for number of sixes in ODI innings (24).

 

[ChilcoSaint]

418-6 after 50 overs, Stokes out last ball.

Unbelievable stuff from England.

That is truly one of the greatest ODI partnerships of all time. Awesome.

Thankfully IPTV was working well, otherwise I would have missed that. As you say, awesome.

Yes, I second the gratitude for IPTV!

We've signed an opener!

Karunaratne, the SL captain, has signed for the first half of the season. (With I imagine a view to Steyn taking over after the WC.)

And a left handed batsman. He ticks all the boxes!

Windies 2 down (both Wood) . Hope and Campbell.
