Jos Buttler 42(32)
37.1
Starc to Buttler, out Caught by Carey!! Outside edge and gone. He troubled Buttler with late swing in his previous over too, and finishes him off here. Very tough to play this. Slanted in from round the wicket, the line is off-stump which draws Buttler into the push. The ball curves away late and finds the nick. Can he produce some magic in this final over of his?
