Sensational Jos Buttler century sets up England win over Sri Lanka

In a tournament where everything had gone England’s way, this time it all went against them: asked to bat first after losing the toss, labouring to work out how to pace their innings, bowling as dew drenched the outfield on a heavy, humid night, watching Tymal Mills limp off midway through his second over to shred their death bowling plans as Sri Lanka accelerated towards their target.

Jos Buttler believes success of T20 could see cricket become 'one-format' game

England's wicketkeeper-batsman - speaking to Sky Sports' Ian Ward in an interview you can see during coverage of the T20 Tri-Series game against New Zealand from 5.30am on Sky Sports Cricket on Tuesday - believes the Test and ODI games could be phased out "soon or in 15 to 20 years".

However, Buttler, who played the last of his 18 Tests to date against India in December 2016, says the five-day arena remains the "pinnacle" and that he would be "sad" if it was jettisoned.
