(Reuters) - England batsman Jos Buttler has vowed not to curb his attacking instincts after earning a "surprise" recall to the test team for the opening test against Pakistan starting at Lord's on Thursday.

Buttler returns to the test fold for the first time since December 2016 after a series of impressive innings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and he believes a similar bold approach in red-ball cricket can help cement his place in the side.
