WATCH: JOS BUTTLER CAUGHT ON STUMP MIC ABUSING BATSMAN ON FIELD; TWITTER HITS BACK! 

The final day of the second Test between South Africa and England caught everyone's eye and ear after the stump mic picked up Jos Buttler abusing South Africa's Vernon Philander on the field.

The stump mic caught Buttler using abusive language at the South African player after he appeared to get in the way of a throw to the English wicketkeeper. 

In the video, which is currently going viral Buttler can be seen telling Philander "Get out the f*****g way. To which Philander stared back and did not respond. But Buttler did not stop and continued his abusive tirade.

The drama went on after Ben Stokes, who was standing nearby joined his teammate saying: "Don't stare him out. He's got a point, mate."

This video is currently drawing negative flake on social media; many slammed Buttler for his act and words while England batsman Kevin Pietersen jumped to his defence. He caption the video saying "LOTS having a go at @josbuttler here! LEAVE HIM ALONE! This is Test Cricket and believe me, this is nothing compared to lots that goes on, on the field. Series is alive big time! END OF!"

Coming back to the match, England beat South Africa by 189 runs of the second Test at Newlands. South Africa were bowled for 248, with the last wicket falling when only 8.2 overs were left.

While many disagreed with Pietersen and few of the comments are below:

LOTS having a go at @josbuttler here!

If you’re trying to replace Australia as the villains of the game make sure you: a) pick your battles, and b) are actually good at cricket @josbuttler . This is fairly embarrassing https://t.co/yLf7fKi09Z

Buttler has the audacity to speak to King Vern like this? I’m appalled. Worry about your place in the England test team, SIR #SAvENG pic.twitter.com/ZpyPo9QBTc
