18.4: Alzarri Joseph to Jos Buttler, OUT! LBW! Buttler has reviewed it but one feels he knows it is in vain. After a series of slow balls, Alzarri has been mixing it up nicely in this over. Bowls a quick delivery, landing it on a length outside off and makes it to skid through. Buttler is not quite prepared for the pacy delivery and is late to get his bat down to try and nudge the ball fine, but misses it and wears it on his pads. A confident Alzarri appeals and the umpire raises his finger in a flash, much to the collective groans from the whole of Durham, one feels. The review does not halp Buttler as Ball Tracking returns two reds, with the hitting projected to be umpire's call, meaning the decision will stay. So the second T20I century will have to wait as Jos Buttler departs for a fantastic 96 (59). The 60-run stand is broken and England are 176/5 after 18.4 overs.
