What happened before Babar Azam's wicket? A split-screen Short on Sports Central by DRM pairs the dismissal with Sri Lanka's animated discussion about where their fielders should stand.

Above the label "PLANNING," Kusal Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva and teammates gesture during a break as water bottles arrive. Below it, under "OUTCOME," the batter sends the ball to a waiting catcher. The discussion gives way to high fives, with the setup and its payoff visible together rather than separated by overs of play.

The clips channel calls it a "Masterplan Executed" in the title. Its edit has drawn about 132,000 views in 21 hours, far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for Shorts. Viewers are discussing the thinking behind the wicket, with comments highlighting Mendis's captaincy and the tactical side of Test cricket.

The Rawalpindi match is drawing attention across the channel's longer coverage too: its full-day highlights and live upload are both running well ahead of their usual starts for those formats. Separate Shorts pick out Lahiru Kumara's dismissal of Azan Awais and Saud Shakeel falling just short of a century. But the Babar clip offers something the wicket alone would not: the fielders pointing out their plan before the catch makes it visible.

The split-screen Short is far above the channel's usual start for the format. Longer uploads from the same Test are also drawing unusually large audiences.
