807 Runs scored in the match at Grenada - the third-most in an ODI. The South Africa-Australia game at Wanderers in 2006 had 872 runs scored, while the Rajkot match in 2009 saw 825 runs piled up by India and Sri Lanka.
46 Sixes hit in the match - 24 by England and 22 by West Indies - easily the most in any ODI game. The previous record was 38 between India and Australia in Bengaluru in 2013. A total of 532 runs came in boundaries in this ODI, which is also the most in any match. There were 504 runs from fours and sixes in the Wanderers match in 2006.
1- Number of bigger team totals coming in a defeat while chasing than the West Indies' 389. Sri Lanka's 411 for 8 against India in Rajkot in 2009 is the highest in an unsuccessful chase. It is also West Indies' highest ODI total ever.
154 Runs scored by England in the last ten overs of the innings, which is the second-most by any side in an ODI. South Africa had scored 163 in the final ten versus West Indies at Wanderers in 2015, which remains the record. Jos Buttler did most of the damage in this period for England, scoring 106 off 34 deliveries.
24 Sixes hit by England batsmen - the most for a side in an ODI innings. They edged past the previous record of 23, which was set by West Indies in the first game of this series, in Bridgetown.
4 England posted their fourth total of 400-plus in ODIs, all coming since the 2015 World Cup. All other teams combined have managed just one 400-plus total in this period, which was by South Africa. This was only the second such total in the Caribbean since India's 413 against Bermuda in the 2007 World Cup.
76 Balls taken by Buttler to reach 150 - the second-fastest to the mark. The fewest balls to 150 is 64 balls by AB de Villiers versus West Indies in Sydney in the 2015 World Cup. At one point, Buttler scored 48 runs in a ten-ball spell, hitting all of them for boundaries. Overall, Buttler scored 124 runs from fours and sixes, which is 82.66% of his total.
6051 Runs for Eoin Morgan in ODIs for England. He became the first to go past 6000 runs for England (although he has an additional 744 in 23 matches for Ireland). He brought up his 11th ODI century for England (and 12th overall), sharing a 204-run stand with Buttler for the fourth wicket.
12 Number of sixes by Buttler in his innings - the most for an England batsman in an ODI. He broke his own record, which was of eight sixes, along with Moeen Ali. Buttler's score of 150 is also the highest by an England batsman at No. 5 or lower.
2 Number of higher individual scores in unsuccessful chases than Chris Gayle's 162. Sachin Tendulkar's 175 versus Australia and David Warner's 173 against South Africa are above this. It was Gayle's fourth century in an unsuccessful chase - the most for any batsman.
14 Batsmen to reach 10,000 runs in ODIs - Gayle being the latest addition. He got there in 282 innings, which makes him the eighth quickest to the feat in terms of innings. He took 19 years, 169 days to the milestone - the longest for any player. He is also the oldest to reach the mark, at 39 years and 160 days. Gayle also completed 500 sixes in International cricket in the game, the first to do so. He has hit 30 sixes in three games in this series, which is already the most by a batsman in any series or tournament.
12.57 Jason Holder's economy rate - he conceded 88 runs in seven overs - is the second-worst for a bowler delivering seven or more overs in an ODI. He conceded six sixes and seven fours. Holder appears three times in the top five most expensive spells by West Indies bowlers (minimum seven overs) in ODIs.
