English batsman scores 350, breaks India's Nikhilesh Surendran's world record
Liam Livingstone smashed 34 fours and 27 sixes to score 350 in 138 balls
London: A 21-year-old English batsman on Lancashire's books made history on Sunday by scoring 350 in a club match.
Liam Livingstone's stunning innings was the centrepiece of Nantwich's mammoth 579 for seven in just 45 overs during their National Club Championship clash at home to fellow north-west side Caldy.

— Liam Livingstone (@liaml4893) April 19, 2015His astonishing assault is believed to be the the highest recorded individual in any form of one-day match, surpassing the 334 not out made by the then 15-year-old Nikhilesh Surendran in an Indian school fixture in Hyderabad in 2008.
Well done to @liaml4893 who, we think, has smashed a new World Record for limited overs cricket, hitting 350 today - http://t.co/1ig9v8j0NX
— Lancashire CCC (@LancsCCC) April 19, 2015Three of Caldy's bowlers, who play in the Liverpool and District competition, long regarded as one of England's leading club leagues, conceded in excess of 100 runs.
Overwhelmed by what had happened to them in the field, Caldy collapsed to 79 all out as Nantwich won by a scarcely credible 500 runs.
Livingstone, yet to make his first-class debut, endeared himself to Lancashire fans by finishing last season with 204 in the Roses 2nd XI clash against arch-rivals Yorkshire.
