Listen to the story

Pakistan and Sri Lanka are playing a Test match in Rawalpindi.

There was a big drama on the field. Pakistan's Razaullah and Sri Lanka's Dhananjaya de Silva had an angry talk. People made a video of this moment.

Pakistan's plan did not work well. Dhananjaya de Silva and Kusal Mendis played very well for Sri Lanka. They made it hard for Pakistan's captain, Babar Azam.

In this match, four players played their first Test match ever. This is called a debut.

Three of these new players made a strange record. This does not happen often in cricket.
