Few moments are as gratifying for a batter returning from injury as displaying a powerful stroke, capped with a towering six. England skipper Jos Buttler did that and smashed an immense 115-meter six off Gudakesh Motie, leaving the crowd erupted in excitement, while Motie stood in stunned disbelief.

Comebacks should be better than the setback and Jos Buttler perhaps aimed to do so on Saturday after missing a majority of the summer. However, the outing wasn’t rosy for him as Gudakesh Motie’s outstanding grab removed him for a golden duck in the first T20I between England and West Indies.

England crumbled like a house of cards against Pakistan on a turning Day 3 Rawalpindi pitch enroute to a 2-1 series loss. Sajid Khan and Noman Ali shared all 10 second innings wickets to bowl out the visitors for a paltry 112 before the hosts chased down the 36-run target with nine wickets in hand.

England ran out of fumes on Day 2 in Rawalpindi as they allowed Pakistan to recover from 177/7 to 344 all-out, thereby conceding a first innings lead of 77 runs. Saud Shakeel orchestrated the comeback with a ton while Sajid Khan and Noman Ali made handy contributions with both bat and ball.
