England Lions post a record List A total of 487-5 against West Indies A in the second unofficial one-day match at Warner Park in Basseterre, with Ben McKinney driving the innings. ESPN Cricinfo reports McKinney scores a rapid century, including a 43-ball ton, as West Indies A is heavily outplayed.
Wisden and Sky Sports also focus on the scale and speed of McKinney’s batting, describing it as England Lions’ fastest and highest List A score of all time. Wisden specifically frames the result as a 276-run win for England Lions, while Sky Sports highlights the innings as their highest List A total ever.
Across the coverage, the common thread is the record-making team total and McKinney’s standout performance. The differences are mostly in how the record is characterized—fastest century versus overall highest List A score—and the extent to which the match result margin is emphasised.
