Records broken in the third ODI between England and Pakistan

Fastest fifty by an Englishman in ODIs

Records are meant to be broken but the way in which Jos Buttler started whacking the ball after coming in the 38^th over, Alex Hales must have been fearing that after breaking a 23-year-old English record, his score might be in jeopardy in a matter of an hour.

Thankfully for Hales though, Jos Buttler did not break the record and didn’t even have time to get to his hundred. But what he did have time for, is to break an English record that was set by Paul Collingwood against New Zealand at Napier in 2008.

The record for the fastest ODI fifty by a Englishman belonged to England’s only World T20 winning captain but Buttler broke that record by getting to his fifty in 22 balls. While that may not be a world record, looking at the way that he is going at the moment, it seems like it is only a matter of time before he breaks this one once again.
