Jos Buttler pinned the blame for England 's one-day series defeat on his misfiring batsmen after they were brutalised by Rishabh Pant's swashbuckling hundred.
As India raced home by five wickets with 7.5 overs to spare to take the coveted Royal London trophy on a steamy sabbath at Emirates Old Trafford, Pant unfurled a glorious unbeaten 125 off just 113 balls.
In a winner-takes-all contest, it was an innings worthy of the top floor in any five-star hotel – straight from the Panthouse. But if England's Test revival under coach Brendon McCullum has been fuelled by 'Bazball' audacity, under new white-ball supremo Matthew Mott they have now lost both the T20 and one-day series 2-1 against India.
