Video summary

Press to jump

0:23Banton's first boundary comes from an edge that escapes through a fielding error.
7:18Wellalage gets Sri Lanka's first breakthrough after Banton's half-century.
10:04Sri Lanka reviews an LBW appeal against Root; the decision arrives in the replay sequence.
13:35Consecutive boundaries bring Root to his half-century.
19:24Brook's century moment arrives after a sequence of lofted boundaries and sixes.

Sri Lanka sends Joe Root's LBW decision upstairs, but the replay shows the ball missing the stumps. Root stays, and England's innings keeps gathering weight in Sports TV's new package from the extraordinary Rawalpindi match.

Billed as "859 Runs In One Match, All Performances", the upload reached about 144,000 views in 14 hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for regular videos. The match's huge totals are familiar territory here, as we reported here, but this upload offers another look at how England built its innings.

Tom Banton begins with an edge that escapes through a fielding error, then finds cleaner routes through extra cover. Dunith Wellalage eventually breaks the opening partnership. Root supplies the wristy clips and drives, survives that review and reaches his half-century with consecutive boundaries before Asitha Fernando dismisses him.

Then Harry Brook changes the pace. Lofted shots and sixes carry him toward a century, with the commentary announcing the captain's arrival at three figures. It is the buildup to his double hundred, rather than just the final score, that gives this passage its shape.

Sri Lanka also features prominently elsewhere on Sports TV: the Pakistan-Sri Lanka under-17 match drew unusually quick audiences for its live coverage, full highlights and first-innings package. A separate Zaman Khan bowling compilation and Shaheen Shah Afridi press conference also made faster-than-usual starts.
