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 116 deliveries, the fastest double-hundred in ODI history and the first by an Englishman, before being dismissed off the final ball of the innings. England's 429-4 is their fourth-highest total 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. Dasun Shanaka fired eight maximums in his 97 from 50 deliveries, before Janith Liyanage crashed a 22-ball fifty to leave Sri Lanka needing eight runs from the final over.
Josh Tongue moved momentum back England's way by dismissing Dunith Wellalage and Eshan Malinga in successive deliveries, but Liyanage struck a six off the penultimate ball to complete a famous two-wicket victory. The win is Sri Lanka's first points of the tournament and only the third successful chase over 400 in ODI history, while England's second straight defeat is a setback in their bid to reach the final on October 31.
