Eng go Bazball as Crawley, Duckett belt India by lunch

London, Aug 1 (UNI) England responded to India’s first-innings 224 with an all-out batting onslaught, led by Zak Crawley’s blazing half-century and Ben Duckett’s audacious strokeplay, as the hosts reached 109/1 in just 16 overs by lunch on Day 2 of the fifth Test at Trent Bridge.
India, resuming at 204/6, lost their remaining four wickets for just 20 runs in a frenetic collapse that lasted under 30 minutes. Karun Nair, who had fought valiantly for his 57 (109 balls, 8x4), was trapped LBW by Josh Tongue early in the morning session. Washington Sundar followed soon after, miscuing a pull off Gus Atkinson to deep square leg for 26.
The carnage continued as Mohammed Siraj was bowled by Atkinson for a duck, beaten by late inward movement that breached a big bat-pad gap. Prasidh Krishna lasted just two balls, nicking behind off another classic outswinger from Atkinson, who completed a superb five-wicket haul. India folded for 224 in 69.4 overs, with Atkinson finishing with figures of 5/33.
