Of course, England are much more than just Jos Buttler.
Captain Eoin Morgan continued his fine form with an unbeaten 71, including this six...
For the record, I reckon Virat Kohli is now the best ODI batsman ever. Sheer weight of runs and tons and there is no better chaser.
Otherwise, AB de Villiers, Sachin Tendulkar, Viv Richards, Ricky Ponting, Kumar Sangakkara and Sanath Jayasuriya are all up there.
I really think Jos Buttler is in that company now. The supreme range of hitting all round the ground and off any length, the invention, the power, the acceleration and the fear he instills in bowlers - it's all stunning.
Buttler might even be the best of the bunch to watch in full flow.

This is the moment, what an innings.
Jos Buttler is just on a different level...
Thanks Amy. Well, wow.
I think one of the best ways to digest that is just to say that Jos Buttler is one of the greatest one-day international batsmen of all time.
Pakistan's highest run chase, incidentally, is 329-5 against Bangladesh five years ago.
I'll leave you with Jack Skelton to digest what on earth we've just seen.

We could say it's remarkable but it's become consistent that this England team delivers score like this on this type of pitch.
If they get pitches like this in the World Cup they will score totals like this throughout the tournament.
Honestly, you run out of superlatives to describe Jos Buttler.
His 110 came from 55 balls, included six fours and nine (!!) sixes, at a strike rate of exactly 200.
Morgan 71, Buttler 110
A single ends what is a very good over from Shaheen Afridi. Pakistan's fielders converge on Jos Buttler to congratulate in, who walks out with 110 not out to his name.
Pakistan will need an almighty 374 to win.
Two for Eoin Morgan, as he gets underneath this latest wide delivery.

If you bowl a dot ball in the final over with two set batsmen like this, you should win something.
Another wide yorker from Shaheen Afridi, and Eoin Morgan can't get the ball back past him.
Dot ball.
Just a single for Jos Buttler as he hustles Shaheen Afridi off his pads.
Jos Buttler backs to one side - and he keeps on going!
The ball goes over the top of the stumps. Dot ball.
Morgan 68, Buttler 109
Wide first up, and Eoin Morgan cloths a single into the off side.
Shaheen Afridi will bowl the final over of England's innings.
Good luck.

Ian B: Buttler is the most naturally gifted attacking batsman I've ever seen, virtually impossible to bowl at.
That's a terrific yorker from Hasan Ali to end the over.
He's done for the day, with figures of 10-1-81-1 to his name.
