Ben Duckett rewrote the Lord's record books with a stunning 141, the highest individual ODI score at the ground, as England stormed to 387 against India — the highest List A total ever posted at the home of cricket.
Duckett did not do it alone. His partnership with Jacob Bethell set a new record for any wicket against India in List A cricket, a staggering achievement that underlines just how complete England's batting display was on the day. Three records fell in a single innings: highest team total at the venue, highest individual score at the venue, highest partnership against India for any wicket. That is the kind of performance that reshapes how a ground's history is read.
For South African fans tracking the global ODI landscape, England's firepower is a timely reminder of what awaits any side that faces them with the field up and Duckett in form. His 141 was not a lucky knock — it was the cornerstone of a structured assault. Bethell's contribution alongside him turned a strong score into a historic one.
