(Reuters) - England's batsmen should continue to be aggressive and play even more shots, wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler has said even as the team's top-order crumbled against Sri Lanka in the tied first one-day international on Tuesday.

Chasing a target of 287, England were reduced to 30 for four and then 82 for six before Buttler made 93 and Chris Woakes 95 not out to give the hosts a chance of winning at Trent Bridge.
