IT could have been a booby trap but Jos Buttler and Chris Jordan turned England's passage to the Twenty20 World Cup semi-finals into happy hour.
Seldom, if ever, will you see a game garnished with four wickets in five balls, including a hat-trick, in one innings and five sixes in a row in the next.
