Read our privacy policy Jos Buttler led from the front with 68 off 44 balls but the rest of England’s batters struggled in their first T20 against India which marks Brendon McCullum’s first match as white-ball head coach. Captain Buttler hit his straps, thumping 10 of England’s 16 boundaries, in a total of 132 all out, but Harry Brook was the only other touring batter in the top eight to reach double figures. India were terrific in the field, with Rinku Singh taking a terrific over-the-shoulder catch to see off Ben Duckett, who alongside fellow opener Phil Salt departed via leading edges off Arshdeep Singh as the left-armer became India’s all-time leading T20 wicket-taker. Jofra Archer became only the third England batter to reach double figures, making 12 off 10 deliveries, before Mark Wood was run out from the final ball of the innings.
