The 27-year-old ⁠rewrote the record books by racing ​to his double hundred in 114 balls, ​surpassing the previous mark of 117 deliveries set by India's Shubman Gill.

Brook's scintillating ‌performance ⁠ended with the final ball of England's innings when he was caught by Sahan Arachchige off the bowling of ​Janith Liyanage.

He ​made ⁠202 from 116 deliveries, peppering the Sri Lanka attack with ​21 fours and 10 sixes ​before ⁠departing to warm applause from the crowd.

Joe Root provided strong support with 69 ⁠from ​66 balls, finishing as ​England's second-highest scorer of the day.
