Historic Run Milestone
Jos Buttler Becomes First Englishman to Reach 10,000 Limited-Overs Runs
Anonymous
Jos Buttler became the first England player to score more than 10,000 runs across ODIs and T20Is, reaching 10,062 during the second ODI against Sri Lanka at Leeds. He made 69 from 49 balls, with five fours and five sixes, before retiring hurt with a hamstring injury. Sri Lanka, powered by Kusal Mendis’ century, scored 321-6 and beat England by 16 runs, leveling the three-match series at 1-1; Buttler’s availability for the decider was uncertain.
