History-maker Jos Buttler says change in format helped free him up to smash England's ODI fastest century record

Record-breaker Jos Buttler said 'it was just one of those days' as he smashed England's fastest one-day international century to help his side complete a 3-1 series win over Pakistan with a 84-run victory in Dubai. Buttler was named both the player of the match and the series after blazing his way into the history books, reaching his 100 off just 46 balls before finishing on 116 not out as England ran up a formidable 355 for five . It was fastest ODI century by an England player - breaking his own record - and the joint seventh fastest of all time, and saw Buttler at his destructive best.
