West Indies batsmen John Campbell and Shai Hope smashed the record for the highest partnership for the opening wicket in one-day internationals with a remarkable stand of 365 against Ireland in Dublin.

The efforts of Campbell and Hope exceeded the previous best of 304 set by Pakistan’s Imam-ul-Haq and Fakhar Zaman against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo in July last year.

Hope was first to his century while Campbell quickly followed to three figures – his first in international cricket – as the pair batted for all but 16 balls of the tourists’ 50 overs.

They were both out in the 48th over, Campbell the first to go on 179 when he top-edged Barry McCarthy to mid-off while Hope departed three balls later for 170 after slamming to deep square-leg.

Ireland had given England’s batting order problems on Friday but were powerless against the Windies, who finished on 381-3 at the start of the tri-series competition also involving Bangladesh.

The total is the second highest ODI score in the Windies’ history, having made 389 in a losing cause against England earlier this year.
