England Lions produced a record-breaking batting performance against West Indies A, posting 487-5 from their 50 overs in the second unofficial one-day international in St Kitts.
Durham opener Ben McKinney was the standout performer, smashing 145 from just 65 deliveries. His explosive innings included 15 fours and 10 sixes, helping England Lions surpass their previous highest List A total of 425-1, recorded against Sri Lanka A in 2016.
James Rew also enjoyed an outstanding day with the bat, finishing unbeaten on 107 from 56 balls. The wicketkeeper-batter struck 15 fours and two sixes, while captain Dan Lawrence contributed 76 from 56 deliveries. Ben Mayes added an unbeaten 58.
The Lions then completed a dominant 276-run victory after bowling West Indies A out for 211 in 30.5 overs. Hampshire fast bowler Eddie Jack led the attack with five wickets for 42 runs, while Mason Crane claimed three.
The result extended England Lions' winning run on their Caribbean tour to five matches. They had previously completed a 3-0 sweep in the T20 series and now lead the five-match one-day series 2-0.
McKinney's performance was particularly impressive, while Rew continued his excellent form after scoring a century in the opening one-day match. The remaining fixtures will also take place in St Kitts.
