ENG vs IND 2022: Top 10 Jos Buttler memes after his flop show against India continues

Jos Buttler's torrid run of form with the bat in the white ball series against Team India continued in the second ODI at Lord's on Thursday (July 14).

The newly appointed English ODI skipper was clean bowled by Mohammad Shami's incoming delivery in the 19th over, leaving his side in a heap of trouble after being invited to bat first. Buttler could muster only four runs from five balls during his stay at the crease today.

The 31-year-old wicketkeeper-batter has scores of 0 (1), 4 (5), 18 (9), 30 (32), and 4 (5) in three T20I and two ODI matches against India over the past week after he took over as full-time captain in the formats.

Yuzvendra Chahal, Hardik Pandya dent England hopes of high total in 2nd ODI

Unlike the first ODI, England's openers began the innings cautiously against Indian pace mavericks Mohammad Shami and Jasprit Bumrah. Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow did not allow the duo to pick up any wickets in the powerplay, even though they were beaten on multiple occasions.

Hardik Pandya reaped the benefits of Shami and Bumrah's tight bowling as he scalped Jason Roy's wicket in the ninth over to give India their first breakthrough. Yuzvendra Chahal then dismissed Jonny Bairstow (38), Joe Root (11), and Ben Stokes (21) in quick succession to break the backbone of England's batting line-up.

England were struggling at 159/6 at the end of 33 overs, with Moeen Ali (17) and David Willey (6) at the crease.
