Press to jump
- 0:52Sri Lanka win the toss and choose to bowl first in Rawalpindi.
- 3:45Dunith Wellalage removes Tom Banton for 50, then traps Ben Duckett lbw soon after.
- 9:03Harry Brook completes his century off 75 balls as the England dugout celebrates.
- 13:13Brook reaches his double hundred off 114 balls; England finish on 429 for 4.

- 19:30Jamie Overton's return catch ends a 166-run stand, with Avishka Fernando on 97.
England post 429 for 4 in Rawalpindi, and the commentators are already reaching for the record books before Sri Lanka have faced a ball. Harry Brook reaches 200 off 114 deliveries, and the call at that moment is that "he becomes the quickest to make a double hundred in ODI cricket." He falls on the last ball of the innings for 202.
Sri Lanka had chosen to bowl, and for a while the choice looks sound. Dunith Wellalage removes both openers, catching Tom Banton just after his fifty and trapping Ben Duckett lbw. Joe Root makes 69 before Brook takes over, with the England dugout on its feet at his century.
The chase starts badly. Josh Tongue bowls Kamindu Mendis, and Kusal Mendis is run out backing up after Gus Atkinson deflects a straight drive onto the stumps. Avishka Fernando and Pavan Rathnayake then put on 166 together, until Jamie Overton holds a return catch with Fernando on 97, "three runs shy of his fifth ODI century," as the commentator puts it.
The finish belongs to the lower order. Sports TV gave Janith Liyanage's winning six a Short of its own and his innings a separate edit, and the comments return again and again to Dasun Shanaka, with many viewers arguing that he is an underrated finisher. Others say they have not seen a chase like it in years, and one well-liked thread asks for more tri-series.
The full highlights reached close to 900,000 views in ten hours. The second-innings package and a shorter recap were not far behind, and the live stream of the match is nearing a million. On a channel whose longer videos usually open quietly, this match was watched through almost every door Sports TV built for it.
