Ben Stokes and other great England ODI knocks - in pictures

  • Arabic

Ben Stokes set the record for the highest individual ODI score by an England batsman with a crushing 182 in England's big win against New Zealand at The Oval on Wednesday evening.

The England Test captain, recently restored to the one-day team, beat the previous best of 180 made by Jason Roy against Australia in Melbourne in 2018.

In what was his third match back with the ODI team, Stokes found some great form which bodes well for both his and England's chances at next month's World Cup in India.

Stokes, 32, arrived at the crease with his side in trouble at 13-2 but set about pulverising the Black Caps attack in a 124-ball innings that included nine sixes and 15 fours.

Along with Dawid Malan (96), Stokes helped put on 199 for the third wicket, which was a record ODI stand against New Zealand.

Stokes brought up his 100 in 76 balls, and reached 150 in style by heaving Glenn Phillips over the ropes for a maximum.

With plenty of overs in hand, the only disappointment will be that he did not go on to become the first England batsman to make an ODI double century.

He eventually fell for 182 when he took on one too many and miscued a full toss from Ben Lister and was caught in the deep by Will Young. England went on to wrap up victory by 181 runs and lead the series 2-1.

Eight players have made double hundreds in ODI matches, including India's Rohit Sharma who has done it three times. He holds the ODI world record with a score of 264 made against Sri Lanka in 2014.

Tips for job-seekers
  • Do not submit your application through the Easy Apply button on LinkedIn. Employers receive between 600 and 800 replies for each job advert on the platform. If you are the right fit for a job, connect to a relevant person in the company on LinkedIn and send them a direct message.
  • Make sure you are an exact fit for the job advertised. If you are an HR manager with five years’ experience in retail and the job requires a similar candidate with five years’ experience in consumer, you should apply. But if you have no experience in HR, do not apply for the job.

Hili 2: Unesco World Heritage site

The site is part of the Hili archaeological park in Al Ain. Excavations there have proved the existence of the earliest known agricultural communities in modern-day UAE. Some date to the Bronze Age but Hili 2 is an Iron Age site. The Iron Age witnessed the development of the falaj, a network of channels that funnelled water from natural springs in the area. Wells allowed settlements to be established, but falaj meant they could grow and thrive. Unesco, the UN's cultural body, awarded Al Ain's sites - including Hili 2 - world heritage status in 2011. Now the most recent dig at the site has revealed even more about the skilled people that lived and worked there.

Water waste

In the UAE’s arid climate, small shrubs, bushes and flower beds usually require about six litres of water per square metre, daily. That increases to 12 litres per square metre a day for small trees, and 300 litres for palm trees.

Horticulturists suggest the best time for watering is before 8am or after 6pm, when water won't be dried up by the sun.

A global report published by the Water Resources Institute in August, ranked the UAE 10th out of 164 nations where water supplies are most stretched.

The Emirates is the world’s third largest per capita water consumer after the US and Canada.
