England Break T20I World Record Scoring 304 Against South Africa

England made history by posting the highest T20 international score by a full-member nation, amassing 304 for 2 against South Africa in the second T20I at Old Trafford. Phil Salt led the charge with an unbeaten 141 off 60 balls, recording the fastest and highest T20 century by an English batsman, reaching his hundred in just 39 balls. Jos Buttler supported with a blistering 83 from 30 balls, and together they put on a 126-run opening partnership in under eight overs. England's total surpassed India's previous record of 297 against Bangladesh and was the third time in men's T20Is that a team crossed the 300-run milestone. South Africa struggled throughout, bowled out for 158, resulting in their heaviest T20 defeat by runs and England's largest winning margin. The series is now tied 1-1, with a decider scheduled at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.
