Chris Woakes celebrates the wicket of Colin Munro
England all-rounder Ben Stokes savoured an emotional return to form after he shone with bat and ball in a six-wicket win over New Zealand in the second one-day worldwide in Tauranga.
Buttler was in a rush to get the job done after the skipper was caught and bowled by Munro, hooking Ferguson for six and striking Southee for 14 off three balls before ending New Zealand's nine-match winning run with another maximum when a Santner short ball was treated with disdain.
Allrounder Ben Stokes also took two wickets and contributed to a run out to make an early mark on his second match after a five-month break. Mitchell Santner made his maiden half century with an unbeaten 63 off 52 balls and in-form opener Martin Guptill scored 50.
While Jason Roy and Joe Root were removed early - both by paceman Trent Boult - the remaining English batsmen did the job easily. However, Morgan continued to press on the New Zealand attack and with Stokes (62 not out) at the other end, the duo plundered 88 runs on the fourth wicket to put them in course of victory.
Stokes ended up making 63 off 74 balls, which included seven boundaries and a six, while Buttler remained undefeated on 36 off 20 deliveries, which included two boundaries and three sixes.
Stokes, 26, also finished with bowling figures of 2-42 from his eight overs.

De Grandhomme was assertive as always before being run out by fine work in the deep from Jonny Bairstow, going for a second run; then captain Tim Southee was beaten by Ben Stokes throw after a misfield. Chris Woakes took each of the first two wickets to fall.
Stokes missed the Ashes, the ODI series against Australia and the Twenty20 tri-series after being stood down following arrest outside a Bristol nightclub in September, and the subsequent charge of affray. Santner chose a good time, his 50th ODI, for his first half century and he squirted, slapped and hoicked effectively, in between some clean, crisp strokemaking.
New Zealand's top order struggled, hitting only seven fours in the opening 19 overs.
Former England bowler Graeme Swann on BBC Test Match Special: "In motor racing terms, they got ahead at the first corner and lapped New Zealand about 15 times".
"The one thing I wanted was to be back and walking out there and representing my country". Hopefully now this is a stepping stone on the road to trying to keep on helping England win games. However, it was the partnership between Eoin Morgan and Ben Stokes which helped their side seal the game while chasing the middling total.
There was understandable rustiness in his 12 at Seddon Park - nets can only do so much - although the ball came out nicely from his first over.
