England skipper Jos Buttler took the attack to Lockie Ferguson in the clash against New Zealand. The express quick fired in a pacy one at 148 clicks and Buttler, with his trademark lap, dispatched it over fine leg. Post drinks, he welcomed the pacer back into the attack with a vital 14-run over that included three boundaries. Boult was subjected to similar treatment upon return – back to back boundaries in the 15th and a six forehanded straight back over the bowler’s head in the 17th. Even when the spinners were bowling well, he fetched a couple of fours off leggie Ish Sodhi.
