Sports Central by DRM posted 23 uploads this week, but one match has given its cricket coverage a particularly long afterlife. The England-Sri Lanka highlights are the week's most-watched new upload, and the comments read like a gathering of supporters from across the cricket world.

Viewers writing from Bangladesh, Nepal, India, South Africa and England congratulate Sri Lanka. Others thank the Pakistani spectators for backing the chase in Rawalpindi. Several reach for memories of South Africa's famous high-scoring encounter with Australia, a comparison prompted by the scale of the batting here.

The highlights have reached about two million views. Harry Brook's double century builds England's imposing total, before Sri Lanka's reply brings half-centuries from Avishka Fernando and Pavan Rathnayake. As we reported here, Avishka falls just short of his hundred, but Sri Lanka completes the chase. The full highlights remain the channel's busiest upload right now, with a separate last-over package also drawing substantial daily viewing.

This is a clips channel operated by Dot Republic Media, and its week's schedule stretches beyond Rawalpindi. Afghanistan-Bangladesh live coverage attracted a large audience, while Afghanistan-Zimbabwe broadcasts and a Pakistan-Sri Lanka youth match added different strands of cricket to the feed.

The channel added about 20,000 subscribers over the week, even though its current daily viewing pace is well below usual. Among nearby sports channels, England & Wales Cricket Board is running above its usual daily pace, while cricket.com.au is quieter. For Sports Central by DRM, the strongest continuing interest is concentrated in the match that keeps giving viewers another innings to discuss.
