June 25 (CRICKETNMORE) - Jos Buttler's scintillating unbeaten century helped England whitewash Australia 5-0 as the hosts pipped the visitors by one wicket in the final match of the series at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground here on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

England made a heavy weather of a paltry 206-run target but it was Buttler's heroics which snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The England wicket-keeper remained unbeaten on 110 runs off 122 deliveries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Buttler arrived at the crease when the hosts were reeling at 27\/4 after 7.4 overs as some disciplined Australian bowling shattered the English top-order.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

However, Buttler slowly and steadily built his innings and was also involved in a 81-run partnership with tailender Adil Rashid (20 off 47) for the ninth wicket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Buttler, who single-handedly took England home with meagre contributions from other batsmen, smashed 12 boundaries and one hit into the stands.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Australia's Billy Stanlake and Kane Richardson bagged three wickets each conceding 35 and 51 runs respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Earlier, England's Moeen Ali's 4\/46 and Sam Curran's 2\/44 wrapped up the visitors on a meagre 205 in 34.4 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

It was some useful contributions by opener Travis Head (56), Alex Carey (44) and D Arcy Short (47), who showed little resistance before English bowling and lifted Australia to a defendable total.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Brief scores: England 208\/9 (Jos Buttler 110 not out, Alex Hales 20; Alex Hales 3\/35) beat Australia 205 (Travis Head 56, D Arcy Short 47; Moeen Ali 4\/46).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
