Jos Buttler plundered a first international century in three years to power England to an emphatic 56-run victory over India to take over at the top of the T20 world rankings.
A run of 18 matches in this format without reaching 40 had increased Buttler’s doubters, but he silenced critics in supreme fashion at the Ageas Bowl with an exhibition in clean-hitting, smashing eight sixes in a destructive innings of 131.
