IND vs ENG 3rd T20I: Jos Buttler blitz trumps Virat Kohli's knock as tourists reclaim lead

Jos Buttler`s blistering 83 not out trumped Virat Kohli`s majestic half-century as England beat India by eight wickets in the third Twenty20 International to go 2-1 up in the five-match series in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. (BCCI) 

Buttler got a life on 76, when Kohli, usually a safe catcher, dropped him at point after he had played a reverse-sweep. Jonny Bairstow`s unbeaten 40 included the winning boundary. (BCCI) 

England began cautiously and lost Jason Roy early after the opener played a reverse-sweep against Yuzvendra Chahal. Buttler smashed a couple of sixes in that over and raced to a 26-ball fifty with his sustained aggression. (BCCI) 

Washington Sundar dismissed on 18 from 17 balls. (BCCI) 

India were 24-3 after the six powerplay overs and 55-3 at the halfway stage of their innings before Kohli counter-attacked. The home captain smashed four sixes and eight boundaries as the hosts milked 56 runs off the last four overs. (BCCI)
