Buttler scores 96 before Liam Dawson’s four-wicket haul
The burden has gone for Jos Buttler. Playing his first Twenty20 international since stepping down from the white-ball captaincy he struck a 59-ball 96 to set up England’s 21-run win against West Indies.
If there was any glumness for the 34-year-old, it was in missing out on what would have been his first T20 international century at home. Nonetheless, Buttler top scored in a total of 188 before Liam Dawson got to work.
