Batsman Jos Buttler made significant gains in the ICC Test Player Rankings after his match-winning knock helped England thrash Pakistan by an innings and 55 runs in the second Test at Headingley in Leeds to finish the two-match series at 1-1. Buttler's player-of-the-match effort of 80 not out has lifted him 19 places to 63rd position in the latest ICC rankings. Apart from Buttler, opener Alastair Cook (up one place to 13th), Dawid Malan (up one place to 60th) and Dominic Bess (up 23 places to 92) are the others to gain.
England pacer Stuart Broad's figures of three for 38 and three for 28 have helped him gain two spots and move to 12th place, the position on which he had started the series while Chris Woakes has gained one spot to reach 34th place after taking four wickets in the match.
James Anderson's five wickets have helped him gain three points to reach within five points of top-ranked Kagiso Rabada (897 points).
