A packed crowd greeted the top ranked England side during the fifth ODI against Australia at Old Trafford. Primed to inflict a 5-0 whitewash on their arch-rivals, the hosts appeared to be well on their way when they bowled their opponents out for just 205. However, their top-order suffered a seemingly catastrophic meltdown.

At 27/4, England threatened to unravel rather cheaply. The in-form Buttler had other ideas. Upon showcasing his hitting prowess in the preceding encounters, he put on a staggering demonstration of marshalling the lower-order.

Realising the precariousness of the situation, Buttler shunned his natural approach and looked to manoeuvre the field. When only two wickets were left at England's disposal, he preyed on even slightly wayward deliveries without inhibition. Once the last man joined him in the frenetic contest, the right-hander kept his nerve and steered his team to a thrilling victory.
