Buttler enjoyed being back as he powered England to win over West Indies

JOS BUTTLER is savouring the feeling of leading England to victory once more after shaking off the ring rust with a blistering 83 off 45 balls against the West Indies in Barbados.

England’s white-ball captain blazed six sixes — muscling one onto the roof of the Three Ws stand — and eight fours to underpin an eight-wicket win as his side went 2-0 up in the five-match T20 series.

Buttler took just three singles off his first 10 balls in his second innings since a four-month lay-off with a troublesome calf injury, getting off the mark with a bottom edge that narrowly missed leg stump.
