Harry Brook breaks Shubman Gill’s huge document with beautiful 202 off 116 balls in SL vs ENG 2026 ODI

England skipper Harry Brook wreaked havoc in the third match of the Pakistan ODI Tri-Series 2026 against Sri Lanka. The game is being played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Thursday, October 22.

Sri Lanka won the toss and put England in to bat first. England posted a huge total of 429/4 on the back of a stunning double hundred from Harry Brook. He walked out at number four and smashed 202 off just 116 balls. The right-hander got to his double hundred off just 114 balls in the 50th over. In the process, he broke the record for the fastest ODI double hundred.

The record was previously held by Indian captain Shubman Gill, who had slammed a double century off just 117 balls against the West Indies at Guwahati in their recently concluded home series. Gill and Brook are the only two players to achieve this feat in under 120 balls.

The England skipper’s 202 off 116 balls included 21 fours and 10 sixes at a strike rate of 174.14. He also became only the second non-opener to score a double ton in ODIs. On the back of his sensational knock, England posted a total in excess of 400 for the eighth time in the format.
