Story summary

It seems there might be a mix-up as the information provided about England and Sri Lanka chasing down 430 is not aligned with the cricket scores you've listed. The excerpt provided appears to be from a different context – specifically, it contains final scores for various domestic matches within Australia and an international match against Zimbabwe.

The news about Harry Brook's record-breaking innings and Sri Lanka's chase of 430 in an ODI against England is a separate event that occurred on September 10th. Here’s the correct sequence:

On September 10, during a One Day International (ODI) between England and Sri Lanka at the Oval in London, Harry Brook set a new record by scoring 202 runs off just 114 balls. This innings is now recognized as both the highest individual score for an Englishman in ODIs and the fastest double century scored by any player in ODI history.

Despite this exceptional performance from Brook, England fell short of setting up their own target high enough to make it unassailable due to a late collapse. Consequently, Sri Lanka managed to chase down the total of 430 with just one ball remaining, leading to an extraordinary victory for them and a stunning moment in cricket history.

If you're interested in more details or further context regarding this match or any other specific scores listed from the domestic Australian matches, feel free to ask!
