A monster opening stand by Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett helped power England to a historic five-wicket victory over India in the first Test at Headingley.
After Crawley and Duckett survived a 30-minute examination from Jasprit Bumrah to reach 21 for 0 at stumps on day four, England came into the final day needing 350 to take a 1-0 series lead.
The pair remained unbeaten until the 42nd over when Crawley was caught behind by KL Rahul from Prasidh Krishna’s delivery.
Duckett was eventually dismissed for 149, by which time Joe Root had joined him at the crease after Ollie Pope fell for eight. And it was the world’s No 1 batsman that finished the job for the hosts, who claimed their second-highest run chase in history.
