“Harry Brook Smashes England’s First ODI 200 in Rawalpindi Thriller” — what this page in the network covers. England captain Harry Brook etched his name into cricket history on Tuesday, becoming the first English batter to score a double century in a one-day international. His sensational 202 against Sri Lanka in Rawalpindi came off just 128 balls, featuring 22 fours and five sixes, and powered England to a commanding total. Brook’s innings surpassed the previous England record of 182 set by Ben Stokes in 2023, and it marked only the 13th individual score of 200 or more in men’s ODI history.
The 26-year-old reached his hundred off 78 balls, then accelerated dramatically, needing only 50 more deliveries to reach 200. His knock was the centerpiece of England’s 351-run total, and it came on a flat pitch that offered little to the bowlers.
