Jos Buttler scripts history, becomes first player in the world to achieve massive T20 feat with whirlwind cameo vs SL

England claimed an unassailable 2-0 lead in their three-match series against Sri Lanka after securing a six-wicket victory in the second T20I. Sri Lanka batted first and posted 145 for 9, anchored by Pathum Nissanka's team-high 37 alongside a 56-run opening partnership with Lahiru Udara, before Liam Dawson claimed 3 for 32 alongside two wickets apiece from Jofra Archer and Jamie Overton.

1 overs, led by Tom Banton's 24-ball 52.

The run chase also saw Jos Buttler enter the record books by compiling a rapid 30 off 16 deliveries. That effort took his career tally to precisely 15,000 runs across 528 T20 appearances, making him the first cricketer ever to hit that milestone.
