England broke its own world record for the highest total in one-day international cricket by smashing 498-4 to set up a 232-run win over the Netherlands. WWOS
While Dawid Malan and Phil Salt also compiled centuries for England, it was Buttler's that took the breath away. He reached three figures in 47 balls for the second-fastest hundred for England, and his brutal, crowd-pleasing knock under a blue sky contained 14 of the team’s 26 sixes along with seven fours.
Livingstone had the chance to take England to 500 — an almost mythical figure in limited-overs cricket that would have seemed unfeasible only 20 years ago — by taking strike with two balls left, with his team on 488. In their reply, the Dutch at least put up a decent score of 266 all out in 49.4 overs, led by Max O'Dowd's 55 and Scott Edwards, 72 not out.
