The West Indies managed to hold on and secure a draw in the first Test against England by six wickets, with Nkrumah Bonner and Jason Holder successfully seeing out the day after Joe Root made a bold declaration in a bid to win the game.
Having made a magnificent hundred on day four, Crawley was only able to add a further four runs to his overnight score on day five, getting bowled by an excellent yorker from Jason Holder for 121.
Crawley was replaced at the crease by Dan Lawrence, who showed great intent from the moment he began his innings.
With Lawrence upping the run rate from the other end, Root continued to go about his business in typical fashion and reached his 24th Test century with a single off Alzarri Joseph.
Lawrence ultimately fell to Joseph for 37, getting caught at gully after helping England push towards a declaration.
The dismissal triggered a minor collapse as England lost four wickets for just 19 runs as they went into one-day mode.
Root was eventually bowled by a reverse-swinging yorker from Joseph for 109, Ben Stokes miscued a catch to long-off for a run-a-ball 13 and Ben Foakes dragged on after scoring just one.
The raft of wickets prompted Jonny Bairstow and Chris Woakes to reign things back a touch and they added 15 and 18 respectively before Root decided to declare with England 349-6.
That left the West Indies needing 286 runs to win and England had the chance to bowl four overs at openers Kraigg Brathwaite and John Campbell before the lunch break.
However, Brathwaite and Campbell safely negotiated those four overs and resumed the West Indies resumed after the break on 4-0.
England did have an opportunity to remove Campbell for just one after he played a loose shot against Jack Leach, but Crawley was unable to hang on to a difficult chance.
The pair ultimately put on a 50-partnership, with Brathwaite looking the more comfortable of the two, before Stokes entered the fray and made the all-important breakthrough.
In just his second over, Stokes bowled an excellent wicket maiden, getting Brathwaite lbw for 33 with a ball that kept low and was only just clipping leg stump.
Campbell then fell shortly after, getting caught at mid-off by Craig Overton for 22 after attempting to hit Leach over the top.
It was a well-deserved scalp for the England spinner, who had come close to getting a wicket multiple times in his spell and it sparked a change in fortune for Leach.
Just six overs after Campbell fell, Leach got Shamarh Brooks out for just five on the stroke of tea with Crawley taking a good low catch at slip.
Then, in Leach's first over after the break, Jermaine Blackwood inexplicably took a wild swing and missed the ball, getting pinned on the crease and falling lbw for two.
That wicket left the West Indies 67-4, with England needing six wickets to complete a memorable victory.
However, much like they did in the first innings, Nkrumah Bonner and Holder shared a crucial partnership and saw the West Indies to safety.
England did let a massive opportunity go begging though, with Root opting not to review an lbw shout against Holder which DRS would have given out, but ultimately a draw was probably a fair result on a very placid pitch.
Despite failing to get over the line and win the match, England can take some positives from this game, with Bairstow, Crawley and Root scoring hundreds and Stokes and Leach impressing with the ball.
However, questions still remain over their seam attack with James Anderson and Stuart Broad dropped and Wood joining Ollie Robinson on the injury list.
Here are five talking points from the day's play.
Root's perfect start at number three
Having decided once and for all to take the extra responsibility of batting at number three, Root made the perfect start in his new role by scoring an excellent hundred.
Root's innings was largely overshadowed by Crawley's hundred on day four, but he took centre stage early on day five as he made his 24th Test ton for England.
It was a knock which took him past Kevin Pietersen and up to second on the list of England centurions and also saw him surpass Sir Alastair Cook 's record of the most Test hundreds as England captain with 13.
Perhaps most importantly, it was his third at number three and both Root and England will be desperately hoping it marks the start of a prolific run in a position that he has previous been reluctant to bat in.
Lawrence accelerates towards declaration
As England looked to up the ante and score as many runs as quickly as possible before declaring, Lawrence played a very good cameo as he added 37 off 36 balls.
The 24-year-old, who is playing just his ninth Test match, played some brilliant shots during his innings, including smashing Holder over long-off for a towering six and mowing Jayden Seales through the covers for four.
Despite his own place in the team being far from secure, it was good to see that Lawrence had the confidence to come out and take some risks in a bid to help England win, producing what Mark Ramprakash described as "a real bright, enterprising cameo".
Wood's injury woes
After picking up an elbow injury while bowling in the West Indies' first innings, Wood was unable to bowl at all in the second innings as England pushed for a win.
And, on a lifeless pitch that offered very little in the way of assistance for the bowlers, Wood's express pace was sorely missed.
Without him, England's other frontline seamers Woakes and Overton offered very little in the way of variation and spinner Leach was asked to bowl a lot of overs.
Given Jofra Archer's own struggles with an elbow injury that have kept him out of action for England for almost a year, there are also long-term concerns over Wood's latest fitness issue and Warwickshire bowler Liam Norwell is on standby as a potential replacement.
Stokes the pick of England's seamers
With England missing Wood's overs, Stokes picked up the slack and bowled a whopping 28 overs in the West Indies' first innings - his highest workload in a single innings since January 2016.
He was the pick of the bowlers in that innings, taking 2-42, and he was also the most threatening of England's seamers in the second innings.
Stokes took 1-24 from his 13 overs, breaking the West Indies' opening partnership by getting Brathwaite lbw.
After taking four wickets at an average of 71.50 in the Ashes and getting hampered by a distinct lack of match fitness and a side strain, Stokes has been much better with the ball in Antigua.
The only concern is that he has bowled a total of 41 overs in the match and England were meant to be easing him back into bowling after the injury he suffered in Australia.
Leach impresses after tough Ashes
After a difficult Ashes series which saw him take just six wickets at an average of 53.50, Leach's place in the side was under immense threat.
However, he has bounced back well in Antigua, bowling tightly in the first innings as he picked up 2-79 and then coming to the fore more prominently on day five.
With England pushing for victory, Leach opened the bowling alongside Woakes and was both accurate and consistent throughout his spell as he took 3-57.
It took him a while to get his first wicket, which came in his 12th over, but once he got that elusive breakthrough he was on a roll with two more soon following.
In direct comparison, the West Indies' left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul proved particularly expensive in England's second innings, with his 0-64 coming at an economy rate of 5.33.
Leach bowled a much straighter, wicket-to-wicket line than Permaul and eventually got some reward for his consistency, while his West Indian counterpart bowled a bit wider and got punished.
Although England were unable to get the job done and win the match, Leach's individual display will certainly provide him with a big confidence boost.
