England women rewrote the record books as Tammy Beaumont and Lauren Winfield scored centuries in a 212-run success over Pakistan in the second Royal London One-Day International at New Road.
England's total of 378 for five from 50 overs was their highest ever in ODI cricket as they established a winning 2-0 lead in the best of three series.
It also forms part of the ICC World Championship and England have climbed to third spot in the table behind Australia and the West Indies with the top four automatically qualifying for the 2017 World Cup in England.
England surpassed their previous highest total of 376 for four, also against Pakistan in 1997 at the Ghandi Stadium in Jalandhar, India.
The previous highest 50-over score in all cricket at New Road was also beaten - Worcestershire's 365 for seven against Scotland in the Friends Provident Trophy in 2007.
Anya Shrubsole finished with impressive figures of four for 19 as Pakistan were dismissed for 166 in 47.4 overs.
England's series win with a match to spare was the ideal start to the new era under skipper Heather Knight who had been the star performer in the opening win at Leicester on Tuesday.
Beaumont (104) and Winfield (123) figured in a superb opening stand of 235 in 39 overs and then Natalie Sciver smashed a brutal 80 off just 33 balls.
None of the Pakistan bowlers escaped punishment with Nida Dar conceding 78 in seven overs and Asmavia Iqbal 88 in 10 overs.
Winfield and Beaumont became the 16th and 17th players to score ODI hundreds for England, while the latter had the distinction of achieving a career-best score for the second game in a row.
Beaumont had scored 70 in the opening ODI and went to three figures off 114 balls with nine fours and two sixes.
Winfield's previous highest score had been 31 against the West Indies three years ago. But she produced an innings full of quality and attacking strokes and brought up her hundred off 106 deliveries with 11 fours and two sixes.
