The English batsman achieved a double century, reaching an impressive 202 runs off just 116 balls, making it the fastest ODI double century in history. This feat surpassed the previous record held by India's Shubman Gill, who had scored a double century off 127 balls earlier against the West Indies.\n\nBrook's remarkable performance helped England post a massive total of 429-4. The match marked the second time Brook had achieved such a high score after breaking Chris Gayle's records in Test, ODI, and T20 formats. He also eclipsed England's previous highest individual ODI score of 182, set by Ben Stokes.\n\nBrook's innings consisted of 21 fours and 10 sixes, with his final over being the one in which he reached his century milestone.

His contributions were crucial as Joe Root and Will Jacks provided solid support with 69 and 66 runs respectively.",
