Unhappy Harry Brook sees no reason to celebrate maiden ODI double hundred

England captain Harry Brook refused to celebrate his record-setting knock of 202 runs from 116 deliveries during a tri-series fixture against Sri Lanka, declaring that personal landmarks are irrelevant without a victory. Brook's explosive innings propelled his side to an imposing total of 429 for four, yet Sri Lanka mounted the second-highest successful run chase in the history of one-day internationals to secure a two-wicket triumph in the final over.

Key contributions from Avishka Fernando, who made 97, and Pavan Rathnayake, who contributed 130 runs, steered the visiting team past the target despite bowling miscues from the English squad.
