1st Test: Duckett, Crawley Frustrate India As England Keep Chase Alive
England Cricket: England openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley batted through the entire first session on the final day of the first Test of Anderson-Tendulkar trophy at Headingley, ensuring their team stayed firmly in the hunt for a record chase of 371.
At lunch, the hosts are well-placed at 117 for no loss, needing 254 more runs in 66 overs with all wickets intact. With conditions overcast and the pitch offering assistance, it was a session of hard graft for India, but they emerged wicketless despite probing spells from Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.
Duckett (64*) and Crawley (42*) not only registered their fourth century stand together but also became the first English opening pair since Alastair Cook and Andrew Strauss to score over 2,000 runs as a duo.
