Manchester: Afghanistan bowlers were smashed all over the park as England skipper Eoin Morgan went berserk, here, on Tuesday at the Old Trafford in the 22nd match of the ongoing Cricket World Cup.
Batting first, riding on Morgan's brilliant 148 run knocks, England posted a mammoth 397 runs for the loss of six wickets in their allotted fifty overs. Morgan's knock came off just 71 deliveries as he hit four fours and a record 17 sixes.
The 32-year-old's century came off just 57 balls, thus making it the fourth fastest World Cup ton of all time and the fastest in this edition of the tournament.
Afghanistan's star spinner Rashid Khan coped the worst of England's onslaught. He ended with figures of 0/110 in 9 overs, making it the most expensive spell in World Cup history and the joint second most expensive figures in ODIs overall.
Here are the list of records shattered during England's 397 runs against Afghanistan:
