16 h. ago Zak Crawley’s handsome drives steady England ship and show power of perseverance | Simon Burnton

England fans were bracing themselves for a familiar and depressing few hours before the opener finally came goodAnthems over, Zak Crawley left the field and took the water handed to him by Matt Potts. If he was a little dry of mouth it would hardly be a surprise – even without the burden of the brace of ducks he took from the first Test, the situation he was about to walk into might have verged awkwardly close to terrifying.
