England skipper Liam Livingstone won the toss and chose to field first in Antigua. The hosts put up a challenging 328-6, anchored by Shai Hope's 117 and supported by half-centuries from Keacy Carty (71*) and Sherfane Rutherford (54).

England ended up chasing down the score with 15 balls to spare, thanks to a stellar ton from Livingstone (129*) and fifties from Phil Salt (59) and Jacob Bethell (55).

But in the first innings of the match, England caught the eye by handing the ball to nine different bowlers. Only one, Adil Rashid, bowled their full quota of 10 overs.

Jofra Archer (9), John Turner (6), Saqib Mahmood (8) and Livingstone (7) were the other to bowl over five overs as the remaining 10 were split between Bethell (3), Will Jacks (2), Sam Curran (3) and Dan Mousley (2). The only two members of the playing XI who did not roll their arm over were Phil Salt, the keeper, and Jordan Cox.

It's not a tactic usually seen in ODI cricket, but it has happened before. Here are all the instances.

Full list: Every time a team has used nine bowlers in a men's ODI innings

The first time a team used nine bowlers in a men's ODI innings came in March 1983. In Auckland, New Zealand scored 304-5 batting first against Sri Lanka, and in the second innings threw the ball to all but two of their XI.

Three bowlers – Lance Cairns, Martin Crowe and Ewen Chatfield – bowled 10 overs each. Richard Hadlee and Martin Snedden bowled seven apiece. John Wright and Bruce Edgar bowled two each, and Jeff Crowe and Glenn Turner one each. Turner even managed to bowl a maiden over, and had starred with 140 earlier in the match. It was also the only time he ever bowled in ODI cricket.

The only player apart from keeper Warren Lees to not bowl that day was the captain himself – Geoff Howarth, who did not face a single ball in the first innings either.

England achieving this in Antigua made them only the third team in men's ODI history to use nine bowlers in the first innings of the match. India v Sri Lanka in February 2009 and Zimbabwe v South Africa in October 2010 are the other two instances.
