England have made history, breaking their own record for the highest team total in a one-day international (ODI) after they scored 498-4 in 50 overs against Netherlands on Friday.
The previous record was England’s 481 against Australia in 2018.
Jos Buttler, Dawid Malan and Phil Salt smashed centuries while Liam Livingstone scored England’s fastest ODI fifty in the first fixture of the three-match series at VRA Cricket Ground.
Incredible.
