LANCASHIRE all-rounder Liam Livingstone has enjoyed a sparkling career both for his county and in international white-ball cricket - becoming known for his destructive batting and versatile spin-bowling.

This week the 29-year-old finally got his red-ball call-up for England's first Test tour of Pakistan in 17 years, and was presented with his first cap by fellow England player Jonny Bairstow ahead of the first Test at Rawalpindi.

Seven years ago Livingstone hit headlines worldwide when he smashed 350 runs off only 138 balls in a club game for Cheshire side Nantwich against Wirral outfit Caldy. 

The Chesire County Premier League side won the toss and batted first in the with the hosts losing one of their opening batsman early on for one before Cumbria-born Livingstone came to the crease at number three.

Livingstone, then aged 21 and yet to make his first club debut for Lancashire, hit his first hundred off just 47 deliveries hitting 10 fours and nine sixes before moving to 150 just 20 balls later.

Remarkably, the assault on the opposition bowlers continued with Livingstone bringing up his double century off 84 balls (21 fours, 15 sixes) with the score 311-2.

Livingstone then moved to his treble hundred off 123 balls (31 fours, 22 sixes) with the score 444-6 before bringing up 350 just fourteen balls later (34 fours, 27 sixes).

His mammoth innings was finally brought to an end when 17-year-old Harry Daniel Jones, took his wicket with Nantwich 493-3 at this stage. The hosts finally went on to compile a mammoth 579-7 from their 45 overs.

Caldy’s afternoon got worse when, in reply, they slumped to 79 all out, handing Nantwich a 500 run victory.

The cricket world was abuzz following the news of Livingstone's innings with a number of sources declaring the score was a world record although it later emerged that at least two players have bettered his mark - United Cricket Club’s Shabbir Mohammad in 2006 and Pakistan’s Shahzad Malik, who scored 403 for Hertfordshire club side Langleybury against the Middlesex Tamils in 2005.

"From 100 onwards, I was just trying to whack every ball for six," he told BBC Sport at the time. "When I got into the high 200s and into the 300s, I realised something quite special could happen.

"I was just trying to hit almost every ball for six and luckily a few came out of the middle.

"It is all a bit surreal. It hasn't sunk in yet but it is a very proud day and luckily my mum and dad were there to see it."

Since that day in 2015, Livingstone's career has gone from strength to strength and he recently became a World Cup winner as a key part of England's T20 success earlier this year.
