Buttler's half-century keeps England in the hunt
March 09, 2015 16:31
Eng 203-6 (42 ovs) vs B'desh 275-7 | Scorecard
Left-arm spinner Sunny comes in place of Shakib, who still has two overs left. Buttler immediately targets him by carting the first ball over long-off for a six. He sprints across for two from the next delivery followed by three singles to make it 11 runs from the over, exactly what England needed.
Bangladesh will persist with pace from one end as Taskin comes into the attack. He starts with a full toss which Buttler drives through the covers for two. The right-hander then walks across and lofts the third ball over the short fine leg fielder for a four.
Two balls later, Woakes smashes one through the covers for the second four of the over, which gets England 11 runs.
England are 203 for six in 42 overs with another 73 needed from eight overs for victory at an asking rate of more than nine.
