England Vs Australia 2018, 3rd ODI: 5 records broken in the match

England and Australia met for the 3rd ODI in the ongoing Royal London Cup between two arch-rivals. Just like the previous two ODIs, this one had the same result - England winning. But this was less of a victory for England and more of a humiliation of the Aussies. England battered Australia and posted a humongous total of 481 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. With this result, the series now belongs to England as they possess a dominant 3-0 lead.

As one would expect from an epic match like this one, many records were broken at Trent Bridge in this historic ODI. Let's take a look at 5 of them.
