It came down to execution, we weren’t quite at the level we’d like to be with both bat and ball. They have some fantastic bowlers, the dew didn’t come in as much as we expected, the ball held up a bit too. They bowled dead straight and kept the stumps in play, we just weren’t quite good enough,” Jos Buttler stated in a post-match presentation.
Then again, the England skipper stated he thought that his group have the nature and resilience to come back again from their trauma defeat to Afghanistan. He added that England have been hoping for extra dew come down at the floor and have an effect on the sport however that didn’t occur.

There’s a lot of character in this group, we need to show a lot of resilience and come back stronger. We need to have guys being able to perform under pressure and that’s what all of us will be working hard towards,” the England captain stated.
