5 Highest team totals in ODIs

1) England 444/3 vs Pakistan at Nottingham on 30th August 2016

Taking first place but only just is England's incredible innings in the third ODI against Pakistan in Nottingham. Thanks to a century from Alex Hales, which was also his highest List-A and ODI score and the best by an Englishman in ODIs, 85 from Joe Root, 90 from Jos Buttler and a fifty from captain Eoin Morgan, the hosts broke the decade old record.

After losing Jason Roy early it didn’t look as though England were set for a massive score but that was before Hales and Root came together and decide to make hay on a flat Trent Bridge track that was only going to get difficult for batting towards the end of the game. The pair put on 248 for the second wicket before Hales got out and Root soon followed as he was dismissed 15 shy of his century.

Jos Buttler and Eoin Morgan then took it upon themselves to entertain the packed Nottingham as they sent the ball to corners of the ground. Buttler was especially brutal as he smashed seven fours and seven sixes on his way to an unbeaten 90. Having reached 400 in the 47^th over, it looked as though 450 was easily on the cards but some good bowling towards the end meant they had to settle for 444 but that meant they took the record for the highest team total in ODIs as well.
