A daunting 371-run target was eclipsed at Headingley when 149 blazing runs were hammered by opener Ben Duckett, giving England a five-wicket win and a 1-0 edge in the Test series against India. An anchoring 65 was supplied by Zak Crawley, and an unbeaten 53 was added by Joe Root after middle-order pressure had been applied by India’s seamers. Though five Indian centuries had been compiled across the match, victory was seized by the hosts in the fading light, and local supporters were left celebrating one of England’s ten highest successful chases.
