Eng 106-3
I really don't know how to describe what I've just seen. From only his second ball, Buttler greets the returning Wayne Parnell by stepping deep into his crease and scooping over mid off for a huge six. It's an outrageous shot, followed up by another huge straight hit for six more. When Parnell gets the yorker right, Buttler does well to bunt through the covers for a couple, then Parnell gets it all wrong with a no ball. Free hit. If the first shot of the over was remarkable, the dink Buttler plays to the next ball, over fine leg for four more is amazing. It's also another no ball, and another free hit, which Buttler steps across to again flick to fine leg for four. The wheels, axel, steering wheel, doors and windows are coming off for South Africa here in the face of this Buttler assault, which continues with a huge pull for six more, before finishing with a couple into the leg side. 32 from the over. You read that right - 32. Game-changing from Buttler, who has 31 from nine balls.
