Brook makes history with record-breaking double ton

England captain Harry Brook made history by scoring a record-breaking double century, propelling his team to 429-4 against Sri Lanka in the third match of the Pakistan-hosted one-day international tri-series. Brook's unbeaten 202 off 116 balls, featuring 21 fours and 10 sixes, marked the first ODI double century by an England batter and the fastest in the format, achieved in just 114 balls. This remarkable feat allowed England to record their highest ODI total in Pakistan and their fourth-highest overall, surpassing previous records. Brook's innings also made him only the third player to achieve both a double and triple century in international cricket, joining Virender Sehwag and Chris Gayle. His dominant performance, along with significant contributions from Will Jacks (60 not out) and Joe Root (69), led England to a formidable total after Sri Lanka's captain Kusal Mendis chose to field first.
