It is believed to be the the highest recorded individual in any form of one-day match, surpassing the unbeaten 334 by India's Nikhilesh Surendran (15 years) in 2008, during a school fixture in Hyderabad.

The 290 run partnership between Liam Livingstone and Ben Johnson is also the highest clubs history.

Livingstone was used as a substitute fielder by England in last year's third Test match against India in Manchester after Stuart Broad was struck in the face while batting.
