[Jos Buttler], left out of England's squad to face Pakistan in the first Test at Lord's next week, was injured keeping wicket in Lancashire's seven-wicket T20 Blast victory at home to Worcestershire but still opened his team's innings.

\"I'll bat wherever the team wants me to bat. It's something I really want to develop, the longer I can bat, the more runs I can get,\" [Jos Buttler] said.

NEW DELHI, March 26 Reuters - Jos Buttler's blistering unbeaten 66 powered former champions England to a strong 171-4 against Sri Lanka in a crucial World Twenty20 Group One match at the Feroz Shah Kotla on Saturday.

Following his 46-ball century in England's last one-day game against Pakistan, [Jos Buttler] smashed 11 fours and five sixes to decimate South Africa's bowling on a batter-friendly strip.

LONDON, Sept 6 PA - Yorkshire's Jonny Bairstow has replaced wicketkeeper Jos Buttler for the remainder of England's Royal London one-day international series against Australia. \"Resting players provide opportunities for others in the international arena and Jonny Bairstow now has a chance to build on the one-day form he showed at the end of the New Zealand series earlier this summer.\"

Jos Buttler struck the last ball of the innings for four to take Eoin Morgan's men past Sri Lanka's 9-443 against Netherlands in July 2006. The hosts passed their previous highest total of 9-408, made against New Zealand last year, while captain Morgan got to his half-century off 24 deliveries as he and Buttler shared an unbroken fourth-wicket partnership of 161. [Hales] and Root's partnership was also England's third-highest in one-day internationals.

On a flat track South Africa kept up with the run rate in their reply but lost too many wickets and were stuck on 5-250 after 33.3 overs when the rain came with Quinton de [De Kock] hitting a career-best unbeaten 138 from 96 balls. After winning the toss and electing to bat, [Jos Buttler] was the mainstay of the England innings as he bludgeoned 105 from 76 balls, the slowest of his four ODI tons, in a thrilling stay at the crease that included 11 fours and five sixes.

SHARJAH, United Arab Emirates, Oct 31 AP - England has dropped wicketkeeper Jos Buttler and replaced him with James Taylor for its must-win third Test against Pakistan which starts on Sunday in Sharjah.

Though it can sit rather awkwardly between the other two formats, in a sense, no format shows cricket's direction of travel - the growing power of the bat over the ball, and ever-faster scoring - like the ODI. What is ostensibly a halfway house between the purity of Tests and the razzmatazz of T20 cricket has moved decisively towards the shortest format. \"Sometimes it feels like an elongated Twenty20,\" Jos Buttler said ahead of the second ODI. They worked. At first little changed, but in October 2013 India hosted Australia for seven [ODIs] on flat pitches, with both sides often fielding weakened bowling attacks. The series proved to be a seminal moment in the history of ODI cricket. Both scores scored gluttonously, in a way that was unprecedented in ODI cricket. In eleven completed innings, the teams made nine scores of over 300 including three of over 350, setting a ludicrous array of records - highest and second highest number of sixes in a match, series and individual innings, most runs in a six-game series, the second and third highest run chases in history - along the way. In the process, the series redefined what was considered possible in ODI cricket.

\"I always thought I'd get a chance,\" he said. \"But whether it would be as soon as this, I wasn't sure. I was fully aware and probably expecting not to play a game in Bangladesh or here in India. Then when you do play, it's quite a nice feeling. That lack of red-ball experience, many said, was the reason why the 26-year-old should not return to Test cricket. Yet [Jos Buttler] believes his lack of first-class action over the past 12 months has actually been of benefit. \"I don't feel like it mattered to me at all,\" he said. \"Probably the best thing for me is having not played any [red-ball] cricket for a year, and having some time to think about my game. As for England's chances in this Test, Buttler remains optimistic. \"Yes, of course,\" he said. \"Getting up to 400 does that for us. The two guys there played very well for India, but still a lead of 250 - when the game can accelerate, in this part of the world - is good. We can be a bit better and more consistent. When we build that pressure, there are definitely wicket-taking balls in that surface.\"
