Harry Brook Scores 202 in 114 Balls as England Beat Sri Lanka

England demolished Sri Lanka 429/4 at Rawalpindi, Brook’s blistering 202 in 114 balls turning the match into a one‑sided affair. The innings broke Shubman Gill’s previous record of 117 balls and saw England post the highest ODI total ever recorded in Pakistan.

Brook’s 21 fours and 10 sixes made a statement of pure power. He joined Banton, Root and Jacks in a 159‑run partnership that accelerated the chase, while Root added 69 off 66 and Jacks smashed 66 off just 30 balls.

The turning point came in the 114th ball of the innings, a four off Janith Liyanage that pushed Brook to 200 and sealed the record. In the final over, Brook’s 4‑ball finish – 10, 12, 14, 16 – left the Sri Lankan bowlers scrambling.

Sri Lanka’s bowlers struggled to contain the surge; Dunith Wellalage went 2/56, Asitha Fernando 1/68, and the rest of the attack failed to keep the economy under eight. England’s bowlers, meanwhile, were handed a massive 429‑run target to defend.

With the tri‑series still on, England now look to carry the momentum into the next match against Pakistan, while Brook’s record will be a talking point for weeks to come.
