Harry Brook scores first ODI double century by an England batter, breaks fastest 200 record

England captain Harry Brook smashed 202 runs from 114 balls against Sri Lanka in the third match of the Pakistan ODI Tri‑Series on October 22, 2026, becoming the first English player to reach a double century in ODIs. His innings featured 21 fours and 10 sixes and ended on the final ball of the 50th over, taking England to a total of 429‑4, the highest ODI score ever recorded on Pakistani soil.

Brook’s knock broke several records: it is the fastest ODI double hundred, eclipsing Shubman Gill’s 117‑ball mark by three deliveries, and it surpasses Ben Stokes’ 182 as England’s highest individual ODI score. He shared a 159‑run partnership with Joe Root and a 185‑run stand with Will Jacks, and his achievement places him alongside Glenn Maxwell as the second non‑opener with a double century, and with Chris Gayle as the only player to have a T20I century, an ODI double century and a Test triple‑century.
