Records tumbled at Trent Bridge with Alex Hales smashing the highest One-Day International score by an Englishman, as the hosts romped to a series victory over Pakistan with an emphatic 169-run triumph at Trent Bridge.
Hales, on the back of scores of 7 and 14 in the first two matches, returned to his blistering best on his way to 171, beating Robin Smith’s previous record of 167 in 1993 against Australia.
Jos Buttler added 90 not out off just 51 balls and Joe Root 85 as England posted 444-3, the highest score in One-Day International cricket history, before the bowlers ripped through Pakistan, dismissing the tourists out for 275.
