5 highest-scoring tied matches in ODI history

1) New Zealand vs England - fourth ODI, Napier 2008

For his century, How won the Man of the Match

And the record for the highest-scoring tied game goes to England and New Zealand, who combined for 680 runs in the fourth ODI at Napier. England's domination of this list is evident as this is the fourth time they appear on this list.

After winning the toss and electing to field, New Zealand didn't get the start they were look for as Phil Mustard and Alastair Cook both scored fifties and added a 158-run opening partnership. Although Jesse Ryder removed both openers in successive balls, fifties from Kevin Pietersen and captain Paul Collingwood helped England post 340/6.

In response, the Kiwis got off to a flyer thanks to Jesse Ryder and were looking on course for an unlikely win at the halfway stage. Even though wickets were falling at the other end at regular intervals, Jamie How was batting sensibly on a century.

When the centurion was run-out off the penultimate ball of the innings, they needed two more off the last ball but they could only manage one and what could have been a series-clinching victory turned into a tie.
