Figure caption,Watch the best of Brook and Buttler as England go big against India
ByJack SkeltonBBC Sport senior journalist- Published9 minutes ago
Fifth T20 international, Southampton
England 257-3 (20 overs): Buttler 131 (64), Brook 95* (45); Dube 2-22
India 201-8 (20 overs): Kishan 56 (35), Varma 53 (25); Curran 3-36
England won by 56 runs, won five-match series 4-0
Jos Buttler smashed a majestic 131 to lead England to the top of the world rankings with a dominant 56-run win over India in the fifth T20 at Southampton.
Buttler produced a vintage innings of touch and power following a relatively barren run, recording his highest score in a glittering T20 career.
He shared in an England T20 record stand of 233 with captain Harry Brook, who clattered a remarkable 95 not out off 45 deliveries in the hosts' 257-8.
England's third-highest T20 international total and highest against India proved too much for the tourists, who made 201-8 as the world champions fell to a 4-0 series defeat.
Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma both hit half-centuries but Shreyas Iyer's beleaguered side, who were shocking in the field, never looked likely to snatch a consolation win and have now lost their number one ranking to their opponents.
This is the first time India have gone winless in a five-match T20 series and extends their own unwanted record of six straight defeats in completed 20-over matches, after shock losses to Ireland at the start of a tour to forget.
