The total meant they overtook Sri Lanka’s record of 443 for nine against Netherlands in July 2006.

Chris Woakes has become the fourth player to admit he is not yet able to commit to the tour – although he stressed Dickason’s reassurances do carry weight with the team, and confirmed discussions are ongoing even through the current series with European Central Bank director Andrew Strauss and others.
England (from): Morgan (captain), Moeen Ali, Billings, Buttler (wkt), Hales, Jordan, Mills, Plunkett, Rashid, Root, Roy, Stokes, Willey, Wood.
The likes of Joe Root and Jos Buttler also chipped in with notable contributions as did Morgan himself.
Amidst all the carnage, the Pakistan bowlers looked helpless as they watched the balls sail for fours and sixes.
The hosts passed their previous highest total of 408 for nine, made against New Zealand past year, while captain Morgan got to his half-century off 24 deliveries.
His last two one-dayers saw him garner just 7 and 14 runs respectively, after he made only 145 runs in the preceding Test series against Pakistan that ended in a 2-2 draw.
“It’s been a tough few weeks personally”, he said.
# Alex Hales scored his personal best of 171 runs surpassing the previous highest score by an England batsman in ODIs.
Quite a monumental knock from Alex Hales on his home ground. Pakistan’s Wahab Riaz was their most expensive bowler and he returned with figures of 0/110 in his allotted 10 overs. Riaz’s indiscipline proved expensive since he twice took “wickets” with no-balls.
The 59-year-old believes Pakistan would keep putting up disastrous displays on the field unless the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) hire former cricketers to solve the team’s underlying issues, the Dawn reported.
Moeen Ali, 45 not out, hit a winning six off Pakistan captain Azhar Ali as England posted 252-6 at Headingley.
Hales and Root fell in quick succession but by then, England was a healthy 283 for 3 from 38 overs.
But next ball he was lbw to Hasan to end a 122-ball innings including 22 fours and four sixes.

Pakistan were never in the game in the chase, losing three wickets in the first ten overs, with opener Sharjeel Khan (58, 30b, 12×4, 1×6) and No.11 Mohammed Amir (58, 28b, 5×4, 4×6) the only ones to make half-centuries.
