An on-fire Jos Buttler changes things up


Chris Jordan took a hat-trick - England's first in men's T20s - as the USA were dismissed for just 115 in Barbados.
And defending champions England chased their target in just 9.4 overs meaning they are guaranteed to progress because of their excellent net run-rate.
Captain Jos Buttler ended on a brutal 83 not out - a knock which included five sixes in one Harmeet Singh over which cost 31.
Earlier Jordan's hat-trick was part of a run of five wickets in six balls, four taken by the 35-year-old on the island of his birth as he returned figures of 4-10.
