The right-hander was looking on song tonight and many were expecting a double-ton from the man in form. He remained unbeaten as Liam Livingstone joined the party later and guided England to a humongous total of 498/4 after 50 overs.

Even West Indies batter Shai Hope couldn't keep calm after England's dominant performance and Jos Buttler's fiery knock. Hope reacted via his Twitter account writing 'Carnage' on his tweet. Interestingly, Buttler reached to the 100-run mark in just 47 balls which now makes him the fastest (46 balls), second-fastest (47 balls) and third-fastest (50 balls) English player to do so. England smashed a total of 26 sixes on their way to the record and Buttler had 14 out of them. Cricket fans around the globe couldn't keep calm after England's record breaking total and Jos Buttler's fiery knock against the Netherlands.

Jos Buttler at the helm of hammering and Salt, Malan with centuries as well. 3 players scoring centuries in an ODI match. Ridiculous! And great ending cameo by Livingstone as well. Englishmen conquering the Dutchmen. Pirates of England! #NEDvENG

Jos Buttler's 47-ball ODI hundred sees him just miss out on taking the record for England's fastest ODI hundred from Jos Buttler (46 balls v Pakistan, 2015), but he does take second place, pushing Jos Buttler (50 balls v Pakistan, 2019) into third#NEDvENG
