Brilliant game and a truly sensational performance from Buttler.

Even with Stokes and Woakes back, I still think we are a world class strike bowler away from being a great side, but we are getting closer.

Someone in the mould of a Brett Lee would be the final piece in the ODI jigsaw. Still worries me in a knockout situation that a batting collapse could occur like yesterday though
