Jos Buttler sent cricket fans on Twitter into a frenzy when he trolled Sheldon Cottrell with a salute on the way to a record-breaking innings against the Windies on Wednesday. Buttler brought up his highest One-day international (ODI) score of 150 off just 77 balls with 12 sixes and 13 fours while captain Eoin Morgan also made 103. The pair shared a brutal partnership of 204 from 124 deliveries which took England to their third-highest ODI total with 154 runs coming in the final 10 overs alone. However, the most entertaining moment of the match came when Buttler sent a ball from Cottrell over the ropes and responded with the bowler's trademark salute.

Chris Gayle smashed a breathtaking 162 as the Windies fell agonisingly short of a famous victory against England in Grenada.
The hosts almost chased down England's 418/6, but the tourists held their nerve for a 29-run win as leg-spinner Adil Rashid took four wickets in the 48th over.
The victory puts England 2-1 up in the five-match series with one game remaining, in St Lucia on Saturday.
