Score card

Jos Buttler smashed a mammoth 131 to take England to the top of the world rankings with a 56-run win over India in the fifth T20I in Southampton.

Buttler followed a relatively barren run to his highest point in an impressive T20 career.

He shared England’s T20 record 233 runs at the stadium with captain Harry Brooke.

England’s third-highest T20 international total and highest against India proved too much for the tourists, 201-8 as the world champions slumped to a 4-0 defeat.

Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma both hit half-centuries but Shreyas Iyer’s side, who were shocking on the field, looked unlikely to secure a consolation victory and have now lost their number one ranking to their opponents.

This is the first time India have gone without a win in five T20 matches and a six-match losing streak in the last 20-over matches, after a shock defeat against Ireland in what was a tour to forget.

The two sides now meet in a five-match One Day International series starting at Edgbaston on Tuesday (11:00 BST).
