Ngidi to Buttler, out Caught by Maharaj!! Chipped to mid-off. End of a torturous innings from Buttler. Never looked like he was in. Never looked like he would score runs despite playing for 42 balls before this. Was the seam-up delivery, angled in but taken pace off, was the slower-ball, it's full, Buttler gets forward to drive and it's off a thick inside half, a simple catch and that's the last hope for England gone. They would do incredibly well to bat out their quota from here. 100th ODI wicket for Ngidi who flashes his brilliant smile. Buttler c Maharaj b Ngidi 21(43)
