England thrashed Oman by eight wickets as the reigning champions revived their T20 World Cup campaign with a record-breaking success in Antigua on Thursday.

Significantly, England's Net Run Rate climbed to 3.081, better than Scotland's 2.16. England, however, stayed third in the Group B Points Table on three points, behind Scotland's five.

This huge win meant England recorded the largest win in T20 World Cup history in terms of balls remaining.

Oman had no answer to England's combination of spin and pace, leg-break bowler Adil Rashid taking 4-11 from his four overs, while express quicks Jofra Archer and Mark Wood both had figures of 3-12 in an innings that ended with nearly seven overs to spare.

England then smashed 50-2 in just 3.1 overs, Jos Buttler 24* and Jonny Bairstow, who hit the winning boundary, unbeaten on 8* .
