Sri Lanka chase down 430 to stun England in epic ODI tri-series clash despite Harry Brook's historic double century
Sri Lanka produced the second-highest successful chase in ODI history to complete an extraordinary two-wicket win over England in their high-scoring tri-series clash.
Harry Brook smashed 202 from just 114 deliveries - the fastest double-hundred in ODI history and first ever by an Englishman - before being dismissed from the final ball of the innings, with England's 429-4 their fourth-highest total ever in the 50-over format.
Sri Lanka slipped to 24-2 in reply but were offered hope by a 166-run third-wicket stand between Avishka Fernando (97) and Pavan Rathnayake, who completed an 87-ball century and put on another big partnership with Dasun Shanaka.

Rathnayake was dismissed for 130 and Shanaka fired eight maximums in his 97 from his 50 deliveries, before Janith Liyanage crashed in a 22-ball fifty to leave Sri Lanka needing eight runs from their final over.
Josh Tongue moved momentum back England's way by bowling Dunith Wellalage and Eshan Malinga in successive deliveries, only for Liyanage to fire a six off the penultimate ball and complete a famous victory.
