England's victorious campaign under Harry Brook's campaign continued as they thrashed West Indies by 4 wickets in the second T20I to clinch series

On a chilly evening in Durham, England’s Twenty20 side played with a coherence and nous that they have lacked since winning the 2022 World Cup. But, for all the glimpse of a new team taking shape, England’s 21-run victory over West Indies was underpinned by two men in their mid-30s.

Jos Buttler began life back in the ranks of England’s  T20I side by making his highest score on home soil, his supremely calculated innings of 96 from 59 providing a reassuring touch of quality to a new-look batting order.
