Sri Lanka needed only the morning's first delivery to take a wicket. Lahiru Kumara found Azan Awais's edge, Kamindu Mendis took the slip catch, and Pakistan's final day at Rawalpindi began with an immediate setback.

Sports TV's full highlights of the opening Pakistan-Sri Lanka Test have made an unusually fast start, drawing more than 630,000 views within 15 hours. The first-session highlights also attracted an audience far above the channel's usual start for regular uploads.

The full package follows Pakistan through early wickets and a crucial reprieve for Saud Shakeel. Given out LBW to Asitha Fernando, Shakeel asks for a review and gets the decision reversed. He goes on to reach his half-century while wickets fall around him.

Milan Rathnayake provides another turning point by dismissing Babar Azam, then removing Salman Ali Agha. Later, his bouncer brings Ghazi Ghori's innings to an end with a catch behind the stumps. Sports TV has also broken the day's play into shorter uploads, including separate clips of Babar's dismissal and the opening-ball wicket.

In the comments, viewers discuss whether Pakistan should have declared and given themselves a chance to pursue victory rather than continuing to bat. Others single out Shakeel's contribution. That leaves the highlights with two distinct threads: the work of surviving Sri Lanka's bowling, and the question of when Pakistan should have stopped batting.
