England broke their own world record for the highest score in an ODI innings when they posted 498/4 vs Netherlands in the 1st ODI.
Their previous best was 481/6 vs Australia in 2018.
Also, England came really close to becoming the 1st side to score 500 or more in ODIs.
They fell just 2 runs short.

Phillip Salt, in only his 4th game, smashed 122 from 93 balls with 14 fours and 3 sixes.
Dawid Malan’s 125 came in 109 balls with 9 fours and 3 sixes while Jos Buttler slammed a 70-ball 162 not out with 7 fours and 14 sixes.
Liam Livingstone also joined the party with a 22-ball 66 not out with 6 fours and 6 sixes.

He nearly scored the fastest 50 in ODIs and Buttler almost hit the fastest 150.
Both records still belong to AB de Villiers.
The 400-barrier was broken in 2006 and England have twice gone past 450, something no side has achieved in ODIs.
The 500-barrier remains elusive.
