7,396

T20 runs scored by AB de Villiers. The South African superstar batsman has agreed a deal to represent Middlesex in this year’s T20 Blast.

19.25

Another South African on the move is Duanne Olivier. The 26-year-old bowler - who has taken 48 Test wickets at 19.25 - has agreed a three-year Kolpak deal with Yorkshire.

150

Jos Buttler’s 150 in the fourth ODI was his highest in the format. His effort came from just 77 deliveries and makes him the sixth batsman to register a score of 150+ for England in ODIs.

Not to be outdone - Chris Gayle went and smashed 162!

115

The numbers of balls it took Jos to move from his half-century to his hundred. In the midst of that ferocious effort, the Lancashire man hit 11 consecutive boundaries.

6,069

ODI runs Eoin Morgan has scored for England. The skipper is the first man to score 6,000+ runs in the format England.

4 in 5

It’s not all about the batsmen. Adil Rashid sealed England’s 29-run victory, taking four wickets in five balls. The Yorkshire spinner finished with figures of 5 for 85 - the most expensive ODI five-for ever!

418

England’s final total of 418 for six was their highest overseas ODI total. One that was reached with the tourists lashing 154 runs form the final ten overs.

Frankly there are too many records to list here and we need to talk about Kane Williamson, so you can see some more HERE.

20

Kane Williamson has become the first New Zealander to score 20 Test centuries. The Blackcap skipper hit an unbeaten double-hundred against Bangladesh in Hamilton to reach the milestone in style.

Jeet Raval (132) and Tom Latham (161) also helped themselves to centuries as New Zealand racked up their highest Test score, 715 for 6d, beating their 690 against Pakistan at Sharjah in 2014.

3

T20I hundreds scored by Glenn Maxwell. The Australian’s 113* from 55 balls at Bengalaru was his third ton in the format. Only Rohit Sharma (4) and Colin Munro (3) can top or equal Maxwell.

113

Back to England in the Caribbean…

After posting their highest ODI total against West Indies in the fourth ODI, they came crashing back to earth in the fifth, posting their lowest in a crushing seven-wicket defeat.
