England men's cricket team, led by hundreds from Jos Buttler Dawid Malan and and Philip Salt, created world record as the team posted 498/4 from the 50 overs vs Netherlands in the first ODI at VRA Cricket Ground, Amstelveen on June 17 (Friday). Netherlands won the toss and took the decision to bowl first which backfired and the likes of Buttler and Livingstone made most of the reckless bowling display from the home team. Despite losing Jason Roy in just the 2nd over of the day, England got off to a blistering start thanks to knocks from Salt and Malan. Both of them struck hundreds while the show stealer was Jos Buttler, who smashed 162 off just 70 balls, that included 7 fours and 14 sixes. At one stage, he looked to set to get to his first double hundred in ODI cricket. However, with two wickets falling in quick succession in form of Malan and Eoin Morgan, Liam Livingstone came to the crease and smashed a fifty. He played most of the balls from thereon and Buttler did not get enough balls to reach his milestone.

    50 balls - Jos Buttler v PAK, 2019

 - Liam Livingstone smashed 32 runs from an over from Philippe Boissevain, which is noe the best over for England in ODIs. He beat the record of Dimitri Mascarenhas' 30 runs vs India in 2007. 

 - Liam Livingstone scored the fastest ODI fifty for England off just 16 balls. He finished the innings with score of 66 from 22 balls that included 6 sixes and fours each.
