Buttler is the MoM for his unbeaten 65 off 48 balls.
Eoin Morgan (ENG): It was a hard-fought game. Me and Carberry dug in and batted confidently. The ball was nibbling around throughout. To be involved in a hat-trick was unexpected. Spending time out in the middle was encouraging. It was a superb knock from Buttler. Carberry played with a lot of assurance. It was good to get through a tough spell. Stokes has taken a huge responsibility on his young shoulders and the future looks bright for him. We want to do well in the final game at Southampton.
Michael Clarke (AUS): 'England deserve a lot of credit. They bowled well at the start. Bailey was great but England batted well at the end. We did well to recover from 60/4 but it was disappointing to lose 18/5 at the end. Clint McKay has bowled very well and he is continuing his good form. We need to improve in the last game. Shaun Marsh might struggle for Monday. There is a lot to play for on Monday and we need to win this series |
