Harry Brook resuces England from 5-3England were put in to bat after losing the toss, only to have a horrid start to their innings. Jamie Smith was bowled first ball by Matt Henry, while Zakary Foulkes got rid of Ben Duckett and Joe Root both in the second over to leave England reeling at 5-3.Brook walked in at No.5, but had to witness a continuous fall of wickets from the other end as the visitors slipped to 56-6 in the 12th over. That is when he was joined by Jamie Overton, with whom the England captain added 87 runs in 86 balls for the seventh wicket. Overton contributed 46 of those. Another mini-collapse had England nine down for 166, which is when Brook took matters in his own hands.Having reached his fifty off 36 balls as early as the 16th over of the innings, Brook was batting on 85 off 73 when Adil Rashid was the ninth man out on the last ball of the 30th over. From there, Brook dominated a 57-run last wicket stand, smashing 50 off 28 himself while allowing No.11 Luke Wood to face only four balls in a partnership that spanned 32.In the process, Brook reached his second ODI ton, getting there of a mere 81 deliveries after hitting Jacob Duffy for three consecutive sixes. He was eventually dismissed for 135 off 101, caught off the bowling of Mitchell Santner as England finished on 223.Highest percentage of runs in a completed men's ODI innings Brook's 135 out of England's team total of 223 accounted for 60.53 per cent of the team's runs. That makes it the highest percentage of team runs scored by an England batter in a completed men's ODI innings, surpassing Robin Smith's 167* out of 277-5 vs Australia in 1993.Brook's effort stands at 12th on the all-time list, which is led by Viv Richards' iconic 189* vs England out of a team score of 272-9 in 1984.Brook broke several other records, including smashing the most sixes (11) by a captain batting at No.5 or below in men's ODIs, going past Angelo Mathews who hit 10 sixes in his 139* vs India in 2014. Brook's 135 is also the fifth-highest individual score by an England captain in the format, and the highest by an England captain batting at No.5 or below.PlayerRunsTotal%TeamOppositionGroundMatch DateViv Richards189*272/969.48West Indiesv EnglandManchester31 May 1984David Warner9414166.66Australiav ZimbabweTownsville3 Sep 2022Kapil Dev175*266/865.78Indiav ZimbabweTunbridge Wells18 Jun 1983Rohit Sharma264404/565.34Indiav Sri LankaEden Gardens13 Nov 2014Tony Ura15123564.25P.N.G.v IrelandHarare6 Mar 2018Jaskaran Malhotra173*271/963.83U.S.A.v P.N.G.Al Amerat9 Sep 2021Andrew Jones477463.51New Zealandv PakistanSharjah1 May 1990Sanath Jayasuriya189299/563.21Sri Lankav IndiaSharjah29 Oct 2000Scott Styris14122562.66New Zealandv Sri LankaBloemfontein10 Feb 2003Chris Coventry194*312/862.17Zimbabwev BangladeshBulawayo16 Aug 2009Damien Martyn116*19160.73Australiav New ZealandAuckland3 Mar 2000Harry Brook13522360.53Englandv New ZealandMount Maunganui26 Oct 2025Ed Joyce160*265/560.37Irelandv AfghanistanBelfast19 Jul 2016Martin Guptill237*393/660.3New Zealandv West IndiesWellington21 Mar 2015Robin Smith167*277/560.28Englandv AustraliaBirmingham21 May 1993 Follow Wisden for all cricket updates, including live scores, match stats, quizzes and more.
