Captain Harry Brook made history by scoring a phenomenal 202 runs against Sri Lanka in the one-day international tri-series held in Rawalpindi. His remarkable innings not only marked him as the first England player to achieve a double century in ODIs but also set a new record for the fastest double century, completed in just 114 balls.

England posted an imposing total of 429-4, the highest in ODIs on Pakistani soil. Brook surpassed the previous England record of 182, held by Ben Stokes, and became the 14th player to reach a double hundred in men's one-day internationals.

Key highlights of Brook's innings include:

• Scored 10 sixes and 21 fours
• Accelerated from 100 to 200 runs in just 39 balls
• Shared a crucial 159-run partnership for the third wicket with Joe Root (who scored 69)
• Concluded his innings with a paddled-sweep for four, leaving the field with his teammate Will Jacks, who remained not out at 66 after a rapid partnership.

Brook's innings was characterized by a mix of innovative strokes and aggressive hitting, starting slow but gaining momentum as he went. His performance not only showcased his batting prowess but also underscored his leadership capabilities as England's white-ball captain.

This innings further cements Brook's reputation as one of the premier multi-format batters, having averaged over 80 in Tests in Pakistan and showing significant improvement in his captaincy statistics in ODIs and T20s. England's batting display follows a loss in their previous match against Pakistan, with Brook leading by example and demonstrating the positivity he sought from his teammates.
