England鈥檚 new ODI record

England one-day captain Eoin Morgan said 鈥渢he sky鈥檚 the limit鈥 for his record-breaking side, with a total of 500 firmly in its sights after its rout of Australia. Morgan鈥檚 men posted a new all-time ODI record of 481 for six at Trent Bridge en route to a 242-run thrashing of their arch-rivals to go an unbeatable 3-0 up in the five-match series. Man-of-the-match Alex Hales top-scored with 147 on his Nottinghamshire home ground, just as he had done when making 171 in England鈥檚 444-3 鈥 the previous ODI record total 鈥 against Pakistan at Trent Bridge two years ago. Opener Jonny Bairstow made 139 on Tuesday, his fourth hundred in six ODIs that included a century in a shock loss to Scotland just before this series. Meanwhile, Morgan, who missed the second ODI in Cardiff on Sunday with a back spasm, smashed England鈥檚 fastest fifty at this level, off just 21 balls. 鈥淚 think (we鈥檙e) definitely very close (to 500),鈥 said Morgan.
