England go top of T20 world rankings - report
Buttler's unbeaten 62 steers England to rapid win

Hello. England have already wrapped up this T20 series before this match on a sunny September afternoon in Manchester.
This is all about continuing the momentum. England have now won 22 of their past 25 completed T20s and are on a seven-match winning streak across formats this summer.
After all of the doom and gloom, and with some big caveats, skies are brighter.
