Morgan keeping England grounded

Jos Buttler’s document-breaking century and a extra routine one from Jason Roy fired England to an eighty four-run win over Pakistan in a excessive-scoring last one-day worldwide in Dubai on Friday and a 3-1 victory within the series. Pakistan’s major problem though was a constant clatter of wickets during their innings, with valiant efforts from Babar Azam (51) and Shoaib Malik (52) being insufficient for their cause in the final analysis.

Roy put on 140 for the second wicket with Joe Root (71), before Buttler – returning to the scene of his ODI debut in 2012 – dominated a stand of 79 in 40 balls with James Taylor. Buttler also broke England record of the fastest ton in this process.

David Willey snapped up the first two, dismissing openers Azhar Ali (44) and Ahmed Shehzad (13) before running out Mohammad Hafeez, dropped by Hales, for 37. “He’s played really well in the last two series and he really wanted that hundred”.

Buttler reached 116 not out from 52 balls, but more remarkably hit triple figures in just 46 balls.

Buttler, who made an unbeaten 49 to help seal victory in the third ODI, was promoted two places up the order to number four by captain Eoin Morgan in Dubai. His baton charge on Green Shirts, totally changed he momentum of the game. The match that promised to be a thriller, basically turned out to be a one-sided affair with England turning out to be the top team, and they outplayed them in every department, especially the batting, which their first innings total of 355 reflects.

Such was the beauty of Jos Buttler’s destruction of Pakistan bowlers that even the Pakistani supporters gave him a standing ovation when he leapt into the air with both arms raised after brutally hitting the helpless Anwar Ali over the mid wicket boundary to bring up a sensational 46-ball century.

Bayliss further hinted that the players who did get to take part in the ODI series will get a chance to prove their mettle in the T20I series against Pakistan. They have come off 46 balls (present match), 61 balls (v Sri Lanka, 2014), and 66 balls (v New Zealand, 2015).

‘The confidence from Sharjah has given me a lot to get that monkey off my back of actually doing something and then the play today was just one of those days’.

Buttler’s attempts to adapt his brilliant limited-overs batting to the longer format foundered – and left him worryingly short of runs against white ball as well as red.

The teams now play a three-match Twenty20 series, starting in Dubai on Thursday.
