  "account": "On Thursday, Harry Brook shattered Shubman Gill's record by scoring England's fastest double century in One Day Internationals during a match in Rawalpindi. The England white-ball captain became the first Englishman to achieve this feat, as well as the quickest to do so in the 50-over format. Brook's astonishing effort came off just 114 balls, surpassing Gill's previous record of 117 balls. The strike rate of 174.14 further highlighted the brilliance of Brook's knock, which included 21 fours and 10 sixes. Prior to this, Ben Stokes held the record for the highest score by an Englishman in ODIs, with 182 against New Zealand in 2023. Brook is now the 10th player to score a double century in cricket history, alongside Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma, who share the distinction of scoring multiple double hundreds. Notably, Brook joins the exclusive group of Chris Gayle, who holds the records for the highest Test, ODI, and T20I scores. Brook's remarkable double century was achieved in Pakistan, where he previously scored a triple century in a Test match in Multan back in 2024.",
