Of all the moments Ben Stokes has had in an England shirt, this is the finest. What. A. Knock.

I tempted fate with my rain comment a few posts ago. The players and officials have gone off. The DLS par score is 204. England are well ahead.

Match winning performance from the world's most expensive player (sort of). He rocks back and drives one through the covers for a boundary. What an innings, a player who is oozing confidence at the moment.

Stokes now just two away from triple figures as he and Buttler negotiate four singles from Hazlewood's over. Australian fielders seem to be just going through the motions, not a smile among them. We have been so mesmerised by this England batting performance that we haven't mentioned the rain in a fair while.

Buttler just smashed it - it hit the third tier and bounced back. That was a massive hit.

It certainly isn't that, Sarah. I hope you're enjoying your burger. To reinforce Sarah's point, Zampa bowls in the slot and Buttler smashes it 95metres straight past the bowler's head for six. 'Sweet Caroline' now the song of choice.

Stokes has ever so slightly slowed down his innings, happy to ease his way to 100? Cummins goes for just three.

Luigi (brother of Mario, maker of pizza) is orchestrating the England fans in the crowd. My favourite fancy dress has to be the fellas dressed as wrestlers. They went all out, they committed to it. It's time for drinks. It's also time to have another look at that Maxwell drop.

Buttler has moved on to 21 from 21 balls since he arrived, including this brilliant four.

That sums up the last hour and a half for Australia - he clearly hasn't seen it.

That's Starc done with his 10 for the day. One of the better Australia bowlers, he has gone for 52 runs with just the one wicket of Jason Roy.

The more I look at the Maxwell drop, the worse it gets.

That was straight through Glenn Maxwell. Unbelievable scenes.

Buttler cuts one to backward point, almost straight at Glenn Maxwell, who seems to lose sight of the ball. He moves out of the way and it goes through for four. Did he lose that through the crowd? Strange.

Stokes and Buttler content in finding the gaps and picking up the singles.

Australia could well be heading out but Adam Zampa has done himself proud this tournament. He's been economical, on non-turning wickets, and helped stop the flow of runs. We can forgive him for the dodgy barnet.

Here's how Eoin Morgan's tremendous innings came to an end ...

Shot! We saw some of this from Buttler in the IPL. Starc goes round the wicket and Buttler with a strong bottom hand drives it through the covers for a glorious four.

Three more easy singles picked up, seven from the over. 200 is up for England.

Naveed Afzal: Woakes is a BIG loss and form of Roy concerns me. However, the depth is incredible and the confidence extremely high.

So Jos Buttler comes in and can play with some freedom. The man with the golden arm in the last over, Adam Zampa, is brought back to the attack. The leggy does well, with five dot balls before Buttler guides it down to short fine leg for a single.
