It was the highest total that England, desperate for a win after losing two of the first three matches of their title defence, had conceded in any one-day international, surpassing the 398-5 made by New Zealand at The Oval in 2015.
INDIA - Heinrich Klaasen batted through the pain barrier in Mumbai to make a brilliant century as South Africa posted a colossal 399-7 in a crunch World Cup match against struggling champions England on Saturday.
Klaasen, repeatedly troubled by cramp on a hot and humid day at the Wankhede Stadium, hit a six and a four off successive deliveries from fast bowler Mark Wood to complete a 61-ball hundred -- only his fourth in 45 ODIs. Klaasen received brilliant support from Marco Jansen in a sixth-wicket stand of 151 in just 77 balls.
The Proteas, looking to bounce back from a shock loss to non-Test side the Netherlands, ran riot as they scored 143 off the last 10 overs after losing the toss.
