Buttler powers England to a 7-wicket win over West Indies in the second T20 for a 2-0 series lead
Associated PressBRIDGETOWN, Barbados — England captain Jos Buttler bounced back to form after a months-long injury layoff with a brutal innings of 83 in a seven-wicket win for his team against West Indies on Sunday in the second Twenty20 international. Buttler smashed six sixes and eight fours in his 45-ball innings as England finished on 161-3 with 31 deliveries to spare and took a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. In a major change of fortune, Phil Salt, who hit an unbeaten century in the first T20 which England won by eight wickets on Saturday, was out to the first ball of the tourists’ innings. It’s great to be back out there.” Jacks and Buttler both were out in the 13th over as England slipped to 130-3 but Liam Livingstone and Jacob Bethell calmly saw England home.
