Player of the Match : Pavan Rathnayake – Sri Lanka

Harry Brook is the first Englishman to score a double century in one day international cricket. He is now the 02nd men’s cricketer to record the 3 2 1 in international cricket – triple century in tests, double century in one dayers, century in T20s. The first to do so was West Indian, Chris Gayle.

Harry Brooke has now scored the fastest double century in the history of men’s one day international cricket. He is the 04th captain to score over 200 in a one day international, after Virender Shewag, Rohit Sharma & Shubman Gill – all Indians.

This is the second highest successful run chase in one day international cricket. The highest is by Australia against South Africa. The total by England was the highest conceded by Sri Lanka in this format. It was also the highest total scored by Sri Lanka in this format, against a full test playing nation. They had also topped 400 runs in a losing game against India, once in this format.
