The England wicket-keeper, who scored his 5th ODI century, launched a late assault on the Aussies alongside in-form Chris Woakes with their extraordinary unbroken 113-run seventh-wicket stand, off 71 balls.

Australia were well on top after they reduced the visitors to 189/6 but had no answer to Buttler and Chris Woakes' destructive hitting.

The 27-year-old, who brought up the slowest ODI hundred to date off 83 balls, hit Pat Cummins for 24 runs in the penultimate over as the visitors added 102 runs to their total in last 10 overs.

Interestingly, Buttler has now scored 38 sixes, the most by any batsman, in the last five overs of the ODI games he has played since 2013.
