Jos vow after new era's stuttering start

- from DAVID CHARLESWORTH in Kolkata

JOS BUTTLER has promised England will be "more aggressive and come back harder" following a comprehensive defeat to world champs India in the first of five T20s in Kolkata.

England put in a rusty batting display and their frailties against spin on the subcontinent were laid bare by leg-break bowlers Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi and slow left-armer Axar Patel.

After Arshdeep Singh snared openers Phil Salt and Ben Duckett, England got bogged down by India's spin trio, who took a collective 5-67 in 12 overs as the tourists were all out for a subpar 132.
