 "'Absolute carnage': How Twitter reacted to England's record-breaking run-fest against Pakistan")
England amassed a world record ODI total of 444 for three, as they crushed Pakistan by 169 runs at Trent Bridge on Tuesday to take an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the five-match series. Jos Buttler struck the last ball of the innings for four to take Eoin Morgan’s men past Sri Lanka’s 443 for nine against Netherlands in July 2006.

Reuters[/caption] Hales plundered 171, the highest individual ODI score by an England batsman, before Buttler reached his fifty off 22 deliveries, another record for his country. Hales flayed four sixes and 22 fours in his 122-ball knock to surpass Robin Smith’s 167 not out against Australia in Birmingham in 1993. Caught off a no-ball on 72 and dropped on 114, the 27-year-old passed Smith’s score by pulling Hasan Ali to the mid-wicket boundary. Buttler hammered six sixes and three fours to get to his half-century and finished on 90 not out off 51 balls while Morgan ended unbeaten on 57. Hales and Root’s partnership was also England’s third-highest in one-day internationals. While Alex Hales and England flooded Trent Bridge with boundaries, Twitter was being inundated with reactions to the record-breaking match. Here are some of the best reactions on social media to England’s plundering of Pakistan. The players involved in the match shared their jubilation on social media

More ShortsI repeat, England's terribly outdated performance at the World Cup in 2015, was the trigger for this necessary, and excellent, turnaround.

England reached 400 in 46.4 overs - joint-quickest for any team. SA also reached 400 in 46.4 overs vs Aus in 2006 #ENGvPAK

There were lost of jokes, most of them at Pakistan’s expense
The giddy ODI heights England are scaling now will only make their last minute decision to recall Cook for the next World Cup more hilarious
