<\/b>Brook 202, Root 69, Jacks 66*<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b>Sri Lanka 430-8 (49.5 overs): <\/b>Rathnayake 130, Avishka 97, Shanaka 97<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><i>Sri Lanka won by two wickets<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Scorecard<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b>Harry Brook&#8217;s first double century by an England batter in a one-day international was not enough to prevent his team being stunned by Sri Lanka, who pulled off a remarkable chase of 430 in Rawalpindi.<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Brook passed Ben Stokes&#8217; previous England best score of 182 and posted the fastest ODI double hundred, off 114 balls, in his astonishing 202.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In clobbering the 14th double-hundred in a men&#8217;s one-day international and the 12th highest individual score, Brook lifted England to 429-4 \u2013 at halfway the highest total made in a one-day international in Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But Sri Lanka, who chose to bat second, were not deterred, even when they were reduced to 24-2. They set about completing the second-highest successful chase in ODI history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Pavan Rathnayake made a sublime 130, while Aviksha Fernando and Dasun Shanaka both added 97.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">With Jofra Archer rested for the tri-series and leg-spinner Adil Rashid left out of this match for tactical reasons, England&#8217;s bowling was woeful. Sam Curran conceded 103 runs from his nine overs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Up with the required rate throughout their innings, Sri Lanka needed 109 from the final 10 overs and were able to absorb the losses of Rathnayake and Shanaka.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Sri Lanka needed eight off the final over, sent down by Josh Tongue, who was pinpoint with his accuracy to bowl Dinuth Wellalage and Eshan Malinga with successive deliveries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But in a sensational finish, Janith Liyanage, the man bowling when Brook reached 200, would not be denied.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">With six needed from two balls, Liyanage pummelled Tongue&#8217;s penultimate delivery of the match down the ground for a match-winning maximum, sparking joyous Sri Lankan celebrations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">One of the most incredible one-day internationals ever played ended with an aggregate of 847 runs, behind only a match total of 872 when South Africa chased 435 to beat Australia in 2006.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The total of 123 boundaries across both innings &#8211; 93 fours and 30 sixes &#8211; is also a record in ODIs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"links\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-126h8e-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-1gccci3-Stack e1y4nx260\">\n<ul role=\"list\" class=\"ssrcss-94r6ik-Stack e1y4nx260\">\n<li class=\"ssrcss-qzx51b-LinkItem e3eyuya1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-1gccci3-Stack e1y4nx260\"><span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0s6gx-LinkHeadline e3eyuya4\"><span aria-hidden=\"false\">Brook underlines status as world&#8217;s best all-format batter in Rawalpindi run-fest<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<ul role=\"list\" class=\"ssrcss-9tw7r1-MetadataStripContainer eh44mf03\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-10q9h22-GroupChildrenForWrapping eh44mf02\">\n<li role=\"listitem\" class=\"ssrcss-sf7vdp-MetadataStripItem eh44mf01\">\n<div class=\"visually-hidden ssrcss-i2z2ig-VisuallyHidden e16en2lz0\">Published<\/div>\n<div class=\"ssrcss-m5j4pi-MetadataContent eh44mf00\"><span class=\"ssrcss-1pvwv4b-MetadataSnippet e4wm5bw3\"><span class=\"ssrcss-61mhsj-MetadataText e4wm5bw1\">41 minutes ago<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/div>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ssrcss-qzx51b-LinkItem e3eyuya1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-1gccci3-Stack e1y4nx260\"><span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0s6gx-LinkHeadline e3eyuya4\"><span aria-hidden=\"false\">Relive Sri Lanka&#8217;s staggering run-chase against England<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"subheadline\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-usmnse-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div data-testid=\"subheadline\">\n<h2 id=\"England-floored-in-astonishing-ODI\" tabindex=\"-1\" class=\"ssrcss-1sc9t00-Heading e10rt3ze0\"><span role=\"text\">England floored in astonishing ODI<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"text\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-126h8e-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div data-testid=\"rich-text\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-nqezkk-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi1\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">How did England lose this game? At halfway, when Brook left the field arm-in-arm with Will Jacks, the thought of Sri Lanka even getting close to their target seemed highly fanciful.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Yet, Sri Lankan captain Kusal Mendis&#8217; decision to chase proved inspired, despite the way his team were dismantled by Brook.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Ultimately, Sri Lanka put the conditions \u2013 and Brook&#8217;s knock \u2013 into context, helped by an England team who wilted under the pressure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">They were hampered by the dew, another factor in Sri Lanka&#8217;s decision to bat second. England made mistakes in the field and their bowlers struggled to grip the ball. Without Archer, they lacked a death bowler.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">And, with less then a year to go until the World Cup, England showed no composure as the game began to run away from them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">For as well as Brook batted, his tactics will come into question. Too much faith was placed in Curran, whose 103-2 are the most expensive figures returned by an England bowler in an ODI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Gus Atkinson opened the bowling and sent down just seven overs of his allotted 10 and Tongue, who almost rescued the game, was only into his ninth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">This tri-series is designed to replicate the tournament conditions England will face at the World Cup in southern Africa. Two games in they are without a win and facing the prospect of needing to beat Pakistan in Lahore on Sunday to stay in the competition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"subheadline\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-usmnse-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div data-testid=\"subheadline\">\n<h2 id=\"Brook-record-not-enough\" tabindex=\"-1\" class=\"ssrcss-1sc9t00-Heading e10rt3ze0\"><span role=\"text\">Brook record not enough<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"media\" class=\"ssrcss-l7emlr-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-126h8e-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-1uy5kw5-FullWidthWrapper ep2nwvo1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-1w8ucfj-PortraitVideoWrapper e1pbfhqo0\">\n<figure class=\"ssrcss-hc6arm-StyledFigure e34k3c22\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-ab5fd8-StyledFigureContainer e34k3c21\">\n<div data-chromatic=\"ignore\" class=\"ssrcss-dtyrnv-MediaPlayerWrapper e1h75hkw2\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-1553su4-ErrorMessage eitf6465\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-h7lv7m-StyledInnerContainer eitf6464\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-nbxsk2-TextContent eitf6461\">\n<h2 class=\"ssrcss-89o2pv-Heading e10rt3ze0\">To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">This video can not be played<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"ssrcss-3uli8u-StyledFigureCaption ehbdhz00\"><span class=\"visually-hidden ssrcss-i2z2ig-VisuallyHidden e16en2lz0\">Figure caption, <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"ssrcss-15twdc6-Stack e1y4nx260\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8216;That&#8217;s life&#8217; &#8211; captain Brook on England defeat<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"text\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-126h8e-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div data-testid=\"rich-text\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-nqezkk-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi1\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Brook has become the first man in ODI history to make a double hundred and end up on the losing side.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">His strokeplay was irresistible. In a 116-ball stay, he mixed innovation with brutal power and deft touches. He scored all around the ground, clearing the ropes for 10 sixes and adding 21 fours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">A feature of Brook&#8217;s knock was his measured acceleration. The 27-year-old had only 13 runs from the first 24 deliveries he faced, then upped the pace to reach 50 from 42 balls. His century, his fourth in ODIs, was completed in 75 balls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It was upon reaching three figures that Brook really cut loose. He went from 100 to 200 in only 39 balls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">As England added 156 in the final 10 overs, Brook passed Stokes&#8217; record with a six whipped over the leg side off a full toss bowled by left-arm seamer Dilshan Madushanka.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Whether he was aware of the milestone or not, Brook did not acknowledge his achievement and, in the same over, was dropped at mid-off on 185.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Brook began the final over, delivered by seamer Liyanage, on 186. He clobbered the first ball over the covers for six, then scampered back for two unlikely twos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Fittingly, the double hundred was reached with a paddled-sweep, then he was caught at third man off the final ball of the innings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Somehow, it was not enough. Liyanage had the final say.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"subheadline\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-usmnse-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div data-testid=\"subheadline\">\n<h2 id=\"They-played-an-absolute-blinder\" tabindex=\"-1\" class=\"ssrcss-1sc9t00-Heading e10rt3ze0\"><span role=\"text\">&#8216;They played an absolute blinder&#8217;<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"text\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-126h8e-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div data-testid=\"rich-text\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-nqezkk-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi1\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><b>England captain Harry Brook:<\/b> &#8220;Heart-breaking.

We couldn&#8217;t execute our skills enough with the ball and they&#8217;ve just played an absolute blinder there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It&#8217;s extremely disappointing but we know where we went wrong.
