LONDON: Jos Buttler has insisted England will not shy away from their attacking approach with the bat despite a top-order collapse in the first ODI against Sri Lanka. Buttler and Chris Woakes both made 90s before tailender Liam Plunkett’s last-ball six at Trent Bridge on Tuesday ensured the first of a five-match series was tied. Wicket-keeper/batsman Buttler and all-rounder Woakes revived England from the depths of 82 for six, chasing 287. “We shouldn’t have to do anything different — just go and play with that aggressive mind-set... If anything we should come out and play even more shots,” said Buttler on Thursday.
