NED vs ENG: Is It Just A Matter Of Time Before We Break 500?- Jos Buttler Following England's World Record Score Against Netherlands

After a record-breaking win over the Netherlands in the first ODI on Friday, Jos Buttler desires England to continue to chase the fantastical 500-run target in ODI cricket. England shattered 498/4 to come out on top by 232 runs, breaking their record for the highest team total in ODI history.

Buttler, Dawid Malan, and Phil Salt all managed to score centuries, while Liam Livingstone came in in the 45th over and scored England’s quickest ODI fifty as they broke their old best of 481 against Australia in 2018.

Buttler ended up going sleds and tweezers on the Dutch bowlers. He blasted 14 sixes in a ruthless 70-ball 162 as England managed to amass a record-breaking 498-4 in 50 overs.

The Eoin Morgan-led England team broke the record in men’s cricket that they previously created when they scored 481 against Australia in June 2018 at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.

“We have come even close once before, and the statement in the team is to continue pressing limits and taking a team forward, take the game on,” Buttler told reporters.

“Is it just a matter of time before we reach 500? I have no idea. We will keep trying. It is a difficult goal to have. “I think the main thing, regardless of the score, is the mindset we are displaying as a team. We will keep trying to improve and be a better team when we play. We know that will help us.”

The second ODI between the Netherlands and England will be played on Sunday at Amstelveen’s VRA Cricket Ground. England currently leads the three-match One-Day International series 1-0.
