3rd Test: India Take Out Crawley, Duckett In Defence Of 557 After Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Make Merry
With Ravichandran Ashwin: India began their defence of 557 by taking out England openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley, leaving England 18/2 at tea on day four of third Test after Yashasvi Jaiswal’s phenomenal double century and Sarfaraz Khan’s unbeaten 68 propelled India to declare their second innings at 430/4 in 98 overs.
Chasing 557, England were off to a watchful start, in complete opposite of their aggressive nature. Crawley took two boundaries, but was involved in a horrible mix-up as Ben Duckett went in pursuit of a single after pushing the ball to mid-wicket. Crawley sent Duckett back, but it was too late as Mohammed Siraj fired in a throw and wicket keeper Dhurv Jurel rushed towards the stumps and collected the ball in motion to break the stumps quickly.
At the stroke of tea, Crawley was trapped lbw by Jasprit Bumrah by a sharp nip-backer, which England couldn’t overturn on review.
