Harry Brook wrote history on Thursday as he made the quickest 200 in a one-day international, and in doing so recorded the highest ODI score by an Englishman.

Brook ramped the ball down to the fine leg boundary to complete his double century off only 114 balls, hitting 21 fours and 10 sixes, and finishing on 202 as England scored a towering 429-4 against Sri Lanka in Rawalpindi.

The England captain beat the previous quickest 200, scored by India’s Shubman Gill off 117 balls against the West Indies, while also surpassing England’s previous high score of 182, by Ben Stokes against New Zealand.

The knock left England in a strong position to notch their first win of the tri-series, after losing to Pakistan by 87 runs on Tuesday.
