Jos Buttler is set to miss Tuesday's third T20 against Pakistan in Cardiff as he awaits the birth of his third child. England's white-ball captain went home after Saturday's 23-run win at Edgbaston, and hopes to rejoin the squad in time for the series finale at The Oval on Thursday. England fly to Barbados on Friday to defend their T20 World Cup title. It will be the 14th time he has led England in a white-ball international. Ben Duckett is also in England's 15-man squad, while Jonny Bairstow has opened in 20 of his 65 T20 international innings.
