Turns out ring-rustiness is for mortals. Jos Buttler, playing his first competitive game since mid-August, returned in remorseless, exhilarating style in this first Twenty20 against Australia, thrashing 68 runs off 32 deliveries to kickstart a match of broken records, explosive hitting from both sides and an inevitable sprinkle of controversy, which England eventually won by eight runs.
