Phil-good factor as Buttler's boys head to World Cup with series win

SALT & BATTERY

PHIL SALT had more fun in England's farewell romp than the day he dismissed Michael Pepper in county cricket and the Essex batsman returned the condiment.

Wish them luck as you wave them goodbye: Jos Buttler's men signed off, ahead of their defence of the Twenty20 World Cup in the Caribbean, with a seven-wicket win against Pakistan at The Oval to take the rain-hit series 2-0.

If England are more undercooked than steak tartare after a soggy early summer, at least there were signs of their game being in good order.

Set just 158 to head for the check-in desk today with a spring in their step, nobody had more fun than Salt.

The Lancashire opener smeared 45 from 24 balls to give England's chase a flying start.
