Buttler struck a 83 balls ton, sharing an unbroken seventh wicket stand of 113 runs inside 12 overs with Chris Woakes (53 not out) to ensure England posted a massive 302-6.

Australia finished at 6-286 after after Steve Smith was controversially given out caught behind trying to drive a Mark Wood (2-46) delivery that went low to wicketkeeper Buttler.
