Buttler praised for stunning century in England win – Monday’s sporting social
Sports stars and clubs across the world continue to provide an insight into their lives on social media.
Here, the PA news agency looks at some of the best examples from November 1.

Club announcement.

And there was plenty of reaction.
Never nice to see a manager get sacked but if @SpursOfficial want a manager to play ‘the Spurs way’ then you’d think the next manager they appoint will be able to coach that style of play. Their last two appointments have been baffling.

Nuno has been fired. @SpursOfficial are something of a shambles at present.
