Sri Lanka make 430 to beat England after Brook's 202

Story

Harry Brook’s first double century by an England batter in a one-day international is not enough to prevent his team being stunned by Sri Lanka, who pull off a remarkable chase of 430 in Rawalpindi.

Only South Africa have scored more to win a one-day international than the 430 scored by Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka 430-8 (49.5 overs): Rathnayake 130, Avishka 97, Shanaka 97

Brook passed Ben Stokes' previous England best score of 182 and posted the fastest ODI double hundred, off 114 balls, in his astonishing 202.

In clobbering the 14th double-hundred in a men's one-day international and the 12th highest individual score, Brook lifted England to 429-4 – at halfway the highest total made in a one-day international in Pakistan.

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.

Pavan Rathnayake made a sublime 130, while Aviksha Fernando and Dasun Shanaka both added 97.
