0:00 / 0:36

Harry Brook scored two hundred and two runs in England’s ODI against Sri Lanka, becoming the first Englishman to hit a double‑hundred in the format. The innings, completed in one hundred fourteen balls, was the fastest double ton in ODI history, surpassing Shubman Gill’s record. Brook’s 202 was the first double‑hundred by an Englishman, eclipsing Ben Stokes’ 182 against New Zealand in 2023. He joined Chris Gayle’s exclusive club by completing a hundred in a T20, a double‑hundred in an ODI and a triple‑century in a Test. Despite the personal milestone, England lost the match to Sri Lanka, who chased 430, the second‑highest run‑chase in ODI history.

Earth’s Shape Accelerates Toward Roundness

Tap title to read story

New research shows Earth’s solid surface is becoming rounder faster as polar ice melts. The study, published in the journal JGR Solid Earth, used Global Navigation Satellite System data to measure surface motion. Between 2011 and 2015, polar uplift averaged about 0.02 to 0.04 inches per year, while the equatorial bulge contracted at a similar rate. The rate of change has accelerated compared to 1997‑2000, with each decade seeing a 0.01‑inch increase in polar uplift and a 0.02‑inch increase in equatorial contraction. These minuscule shifts, driven by melting glaciers, indicate a measurable, hastening increase in Earth’s roundness.
