England built a first-innings lead on day two of the fourth men’s Ashes Test after Zak Crawley’s explosive knock helped eclipse Australia’s score of 317 all out.
Earlier, Chris Woakes sealed a maiden Ashes five-fer. James Anderson removed Pat Cummins with the first ball of the day at Old Trafford as the Australia captain tamely chipped to cover, and they were eventually all out for 317 as Hazlewood fenced to second slip, with Ben Duckett taking a head-high catch as Woakes finished with figures of five for 62.
Mitchell Starc picked off England opener Duckett for only one run, but Crawley then set about hitting all corners of the ground, first alongside Moeen Ali who scored 54, and then with Joe Root who also racked up a quick half-century to take the game away from Australia, as Crawley eventually fell for 189.
