However, it was later revealed by coach Ashley Giles that the stumper will have to undergo x-rays.
"We'll get it X-rayed and see where he is. It's not ideal," Giles was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au."I don't want to speculate, but it's a nasty knock. Once we get it X-rayed, we'll know."
Buttler has been at the top of his games in recent times. He has scored two T20 half tons in the last week.
