England captain Harry Brook delivered a breathtaking performance, smashing 202 runs off 116 balls, including 21 fours and 10 sixes, to guide his side to an imposing total of 429-4 in 50 overs. Brook's double century set a new record for the highest individual score in a men's ODI innings played in Pakistan, eclipsing the previous benchmark of 188 runs set by former South Africa captain Gary Kirsten against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in Rawalpindi in 1996.
The England skipper's remarkable innings also saw him rewrite several other records, establishing the highest individual score by an English batter in men's ODIs, eclipsing former captain Ben Stokes' 182 against New Zealand in 2023. Furthermore, his double century came off just 116 balls, making it the fastest ODI double century by balls faced, surpassing India's Shubman Gill, who scored an unbeaten 223 off 117 deliveries against the West Indies in Guwahati on 30 September 2026.
The 27-year-old also joined an elite group of captains to have scored double centuries in men's ODIs, ranking his innings among the highest individual scores by a skipper in the format. He is now the first England captain to register an ODI double century, putting his name firmly in the history books of international cricket.
The remarkable display of power-hitting stunned the opposition bowlers and thrilled fans around the globe, highlighting his exceptional batting prowess. Cricket analysts have hailed the knock as one of the finest innings ever witnessed in limited-overs history, praising his temperament and shot selection.
With this monumental victory and record-breaking feat, England has firmly stamped its authority in the ongoing series, setting high standards for future matches. As the cricketing world continues to celebrate this historic milestone, all eyes will be on Brook and his team to see if they can maintain this phenomenal momentum.
