England captain Harry Brook scores 202 off 116 balls, creating the fastest double century in ODI history, as England post 429-4 against Sri Lanka in a tri-series match in Rawalpindi. Brook reaches 200 in 114 balls and is dismissed off the last delivery, but his innings helps England add heavily late on.
Across outlets, the record details are consistent: Brook becomes the first Englishman to score a double century in ODIs and breaks Shubman Gill’s previous fastest double-ton mark. Coverage also highlights the supporting cast—Joe Root’s 66 off 69, plus contributions from Tom Banton and Will Jacks—and notes England’s 400-plus total as a key context, including the venue’s prior ODI-high by Pakistan.
Some reports emphasise specific milestones, such as Brook being two balls quicker than Gill or the overall England total at Rawalpindi. Others also include commentary and praise, referencing figures like Mark Butcher and comparisons to past batting greats, while the core match facts remain the same across sources.
