Jos Buttler will have no qualms about captaining England again should he be asked to lead the side when they seek a series-clinching win over Australia at Trent Bridge on Tuesday. The wicket-keeper found himself unexpectedly thrust into the role when regular one-day international skipper Eoin Morgan pulled out shortly before the start of Saturday's second one-day international in Cardiff. The extra responsibility did not appear to inhibit Buttler, who struck a typically blistering 91 not out in a total of 342 for eight that also featured a century from Jason Roy. He then led the side from behind the stumps in the field as England won by 38 runs to go 2-0 up in a five-match series.
Buttler, reflecting on captaining England at Sophia Gardens, said: "I enjoyed it.
"It's a bit more stressful going through lots of decisions, (and) the buck stops with you.
