“Stokes’ Innings Was Incredibly Special”: England Skipper Buttler After Win Over New Zealand

London [UK] : Following the 181-run win over New Zealand in the third ODI, England skipper Jos Buttler lauded Ben Stokes and Dawid Malan for their batting performances, adding that the team is heading in the right direction.

A record-breaking knock by Ben Stokes coupled with solid performances by bowlers guided an all-round England to a 181-run win over New Zealand in the third ODI of the four-match series at The Oval on Wednesday.

“Really pleased with the performance. Spoke at the toss about wanting to be more aggressive. Malan and Stokes had a brilliant partnership to put the pressure back on. There is levels we can keep achieving. There is more in the tank as well, which is exciting. That is the England way. Stokesy’s innings was incredibly special. Dawid’s done brilliantly well everytime he has got his chance. That opening spell was as good as it gets from Woakes and Topley. I am really pleased with today. The most important thing was that message of being aggressive. It feels we are heading in the right direction,” said Buttler in a post-match presentation.
