England break ODI world record as Jos Buttler leads stellar innings vs the Netherlands

England have broken their own record for the highest ODI score after blasting 498-4 in the first ODI against the Netherlands at Amstelveen.

Jos Buttler was the star of the show for England as he struck the second-fastest 150 in ODI history off 65 balls, falling just one delivery short of equalling AB de Villiers' record. Buttler was the third Englishman to score a century in the innings, following Phil Salt and Dawid Malan.

Salt's 122 off 93 balls was his first hundred in an England shirt, while Malan's 125 off 109 balls meant he became just the third England batter to reach three figures in all formats after Buttler and England women's captain Heather Knight.
