Joe Root is caught at backward point, Harry Brook is run out by debutant Razaullah, and England have rebuilding to do in Lahore. Sports Central by DRM's highlights of the tri-series meeting begin with Pakistan making almost everything go their way.
Shaheen Shah Afridi removes both Tom Banton and Root, while Haris Rauf has Jordan Cox caught by Babar Azam at slip. Ben Duckett supplies England's answer: a century built around a substantial partnership with Sam Curran, before Arafat Minhas finally dismisses him.
Babar's afternoon then changes sharply. After helping finish England's innings with two running catches, he is bowled by Gus Atkinson during Pakistan's troubled start to the chase. Those shifts give the highlights more than a collection of boundaries to work with.
The clips channel's upload cleared half a million views in eleven hours, far beyond its usual first-day audience for regular videos. The separate live upload had already attracted about 1.5 million views, with second-innings highlights and the post-match show also drawing unusually large audiences for their formats.
In the comments, the conversation moves beyond the early wickets to Shadab Khan's batting. Several viewers compare his innings with Mehidy Hasan Miraz's performance against India; others bring up the celebrated Angelo Mathews-Lasith Malinga partnership from 2010. Those are viewers' comparisons, not evidence of a new record. Sports Central by DRM has also posted a separate Short highlighting Shadab surviving a review.
