The full highlights of this third match of the ODI Tri-Series in Pakistan come from the PCB's broadcast, posted by Sports Central by DRM, a clips channel run by Dot Republic Media. Within ten hours they had drawn close to three-quarters of a million views, a pace the channel's regular videos almost never reach. The live stream of the match has passed a million, and the channel cut the evening into several more pieces: the second innings, the last over, the ceremony and a Short of the winning six.
England's innings belongs to Harry Brook. The England captain moves from fifty to a hundred off 75 balls, then to 200 off 114, and the commentator calls him "the quickest to make a double hundred in ODI cricket." He is out on the very last ball for 202. Joe Root and Will Jacks add fifties around him, and England finish on 429 for four.
The chase starts badly. Josh Tongue hits the top of Kamindu Mendis's off stump, and Kusal Mendis is run out at the non-striker's end without scoring. Avishka Fernando and Pavan Rathnayake rebuild with half-centuries before Jamie Overton holds a return catch to send Avishka off for 97, "three runs shy of his fifth ODI century."
The comments read like a regional roll call: viewers from Bangladesh and Nepal congratulate Sri Lanka, while others, writing in Sinhala, thank the Rawalpindi crowd for backing them. One is reminded of South Africa's famous chase against Australia, the old benchmark for scoring like this.
