Harry Brook Hits Fastest ODI Double Century as Sri Lanka Win

The third match of the ongoing tri-series in Pakistan brought England and Sri Lanka together in Rawalpindi. Harry Brook turned it into a record-breaking occasion, but England ultimately lost.

Times now identified the fixture as the third match of the series. Al Jazeera reported that England captain Brook made 202, reaching his double century in the fastest time in ODI history.

Coverage published on October 22 reported that Brook had broken Shubman Gill's record for the fastest ODI double century, according to Indian Express. His eventual score was 202.

England left Sri Lanka a target of 430, ABC Australia reported. Brook's individual landmark had put England in a strong position, but the chase changed the story of the match.

Sri Lanka stayed in the contest until the final over. The Guardian reported that Liyanage hit the winning six with one ball to spare.

The margin was two wickets, according to Al Jazeera. England had produced a record-breaking innings, only to finish on the losing side.

Brook leaves the match with the fastest ODI double century, while Sri Lanka leave with the victory. The Guardian described their pursuit as the second-highest successful chase in ODI history.

The result gives the match two distinct places in the record books: one for Brook's batting and another for Sri Lanka's response. As the BBC reported, his landmark was ultimately overshadowed by England's defeat.
