481- A new record in one day cricket

England was able to post a new record in the history of ODI’s. Playing their thirds ODI in a 5 match series, the English team was able to score 481 for six wickets. The comfortable conditions of their home ground Nottingham has given them an advantage to achieve the feat. England batsman Alex Hales and Jonny Bairstow has hit 147 and 139 respectively. At one stage England looked as if it’s going to surpass even the unachievable 500 score mark. However this is not the lonely record of the match. Australia was defeated by a margin of 242 runs which is of course a record for Australia in that segment. 62 boundaries were scored in this match which is another record at that level. The match was over at 239 all out with almost 13 overs left to play.
