NEW DELHI: Opener Zak Crawley showcased his class with a resilient unbeaten half-century, steering England to 100 for two at lunch on day one, despite facing an intense opening spell from the Indian pacers in the fifth and final Test match against India.
Facing the formidable bowling duo of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, known for their ability to make the ball talk, Crawley, alongside fellow opener Ben Duckett, weathered an onslaught during the initial 14 overs of fast bowling.
