Jonny Bairstow and Alex Hales pummel England new world record

England stormed to a world record 481-6 as they demolished Australia's bowling attack in the third match of their one-day international series at Trent Bridge, Nottingham on Tuesday.

England broke their own world record for the highest ODI total when they pummelled and pulverised Australia for 481 runs off 50 overs to go 3-0 up with two to play. No better way for England to acquire an awe-inspiring charisma as favourites for the World Cup a year from now.

Alex Hales, Man of the Match: It's as good as it gets (To score a hundred at his home ground). Managed to replicate my performance against Pakistan a couple of years back, it's a special day. To beat the opposition by close to 240 runs is unbelievable. I think the pool of talent we have got around in England in white-ball cricket is really good at the moment. Striving to improve more.
