Sri Lanka vs England, 3rd ODI, England tour of Sri Lanka 2026 - Player Highlights

Asitha Fernando to Brook, SIX, fittingly Brook ends the innings with a six. A slower-ball on a fuller length on middle, Brook backs away and lofts over extra-cover, flies all the way and Root comes to Brook to applaud. Again superb timing and that's Brook's highest score in ODIs. England end on 357. The duo walk off bat-raised and soaking in the standing ovation from the Premadasa crowd. Brook asks Root to lead him off the field, he does so but then waits near the boundary, taps bats with Brook and the England skipper walks off first inside

Asitha Fernando to Brook, FOUR, sliced over backward point. Brook comes down the track and takes on the back of the hand slower-ball, throws the bat and slices it over backward point, runs away

Asitha Fernando to Brook, wide, slower-ball off-cutter and well down leg, dug in short, Brook lets it go and called a wide. The ump explains to Root why it's not a no-ball as it pitched on the cutstrip before the popping crease, Root asking the ump the question as to why that was not a no-ball

Asitha Fernando to Brook, no run, full and targetting the pads, Brook makes room outside the leg-stump, looks to heave and misses, rapped on the pads but sliding down, was the back of the hand slower-ball as well. Impact too miles outside the leg-stump

Asitha Fernando to Brook, SIX, Brook shows off his extraordinary eye. It's full on leg-stump, Brook backs away and lofts all the way over extra-cover, sweet timing and the ball flies off the bat

Vandersay to Brook, FOUR, 22 off the over. It's fraction short outside off, this leg-break, Brook goes on the back foot and cuts hard, beats the run and dive of Nissanka to his left at deep extra-cover. Vandersay has a resigned look on his face

Vandersay to Brook, 2 runs, tremendous effort from deep mid-wicket where DdS is there and he lobs it back in. Saves four. It's fraction short on middle, Brook goes on the back foot and pulls, DdS with a diving catch but realises he is going over so lobs it back, was airborne as he took it with both hands to his right, then while still being airborne back-flicks it into the playing area. Then gets up and runs forward to pick the ball up. Malinga and Asalanka applaud that effort by clapping

Vandersay to Brook, 2 runs, in the air and Vandersay running back, can't hang on as he dives forward. Was a tired effort from him and he is struggling with an injury as well. In the end didn't even get a fingertip on it. It's a flat good length outside off, Brook goes on the back foot and miscues the pull, just manages to elude Vandersay, the bottom-hand came off as he went back to pull, foiled all timing

Vandersay to Brook, FOUR, what a 100 from Brook. He removes both gloves and raises them in celebration. Has a big smile on his face. Punches gloves with Root and hugs him. Buttler and Carse are up to clap. As soon as he hit that, he knew it was four and started fist-pumping in celebration. It's slower and wider outside off, Brook goes on the back foot and cuts, no sweeper cover and it runs away for four. Such a special player and this has been a special knock. His 3rd ODI ton and one which he has shown how far he is ahead in terms of talent from the other young contenders in world cricket, England have got a gem who will definitely rule in the batting segment for another 10-15 years

Asitha Fernando to Brook, FOUR, good work by Pavan Rathnayake in getting there from long-on but then he lobs it way over the reach of deep mid-wicket coming across. Nissanka gets a hand but it falls beyond the cushions. The slower-ball off-cutter and dug in short outside off, Brook waits and pulls into the gap between deep mid-wicket and long-on. Rathnayake runs and dives to his right and with one-hand on the dive lobs to Nissanka who gets his left-hand, was too quick and high for him
