BBC Sport · 20 hours ago

Ben Duckett produced a record-breaking innings of 141 for England against India in the third and final One Day International at Lord's, setting a new record for the highest score by any men's batter in an ODI at the ground. His innings surpassed a mark that had stood for exactly half a century, underlining the significance of the achievement in the context of the sport's history at one of cricket's most storied venues.

Duckett's 141 eclipsed the previous record of 138, which had been set by West Indies great Sir Viv Richards back in 1975. The knock was praised for combining patience, power and precision, and came during a live decider between England and India in the ODI series.

  • He broke Sir Viv Richards' 1975 record of 138.
