Top 10 Highest individual scores registered by Englishmen in ODIs

England opener Alex Hales wrote his name in the record books with his wonderful 122 balls 171 runs knock against Pakistan in the 3rd ODI at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. Hales looked in a no non-sense mood today pummeling the bowlers with no mercy at all.

He was at utmost ease and took full advantage of Pakistan’s pitiable bowling attack and poor fielding. Coming out to open the innings, he batted till the 37th over before departing. He did the maximum damage possible from his bat.

After losing his opening partner, an equally dangerous Jason Roy in the 6th over, Hales teamed up with Joe Root to punish the Pakistan bowlers and forged a 248 run stand. On the way to this wonderful stand, hales also completed his 4th ODI century and his first 150 plus score.
