Jos Buttler scores unbeaten century to help England whitewash Australia

by June 25th, 2018

Jos Buttler made a brilliant unbeaten 110 to give England a dramatic victory in the fifth one-day international and a first 5-0 whitewash over Australia.

Chasing only 206, England were 114-8 when Buttler was joined by Adil Rashid for a stand of 81.

Rashid was dismissed with 11 needed, but Buttler hit the next ball for six to move to his sixth ODI century.

Last man Jake Ball survived an Ashton Agar over and Buttler completed a one-wicket win with nine balls to spare.

The two sides meet in a one-off T/20 at Edgbaston on Wednesday, with England then welcoming India .

Buttler takes England to history

England have dominated a depleted Australia in this series – they hammered a world record 481-6 in the third match at Trent Bridge and then overhauled 310 with more than five overs to spare in Durham on Thursday.

However, they looked to have wasted the chance of the whitewash and only their second 5-0 ODI series win against any opponent.
