Crawley Reacts to Late Arrival Claim During Test Match<\/strong><\/p>\n England\u2019s opener, Zak Crawley, addressed comments made by India\u2019s Shubman Gill regarding a delay in their arrival to the crease during the third Test at Lord\u2019s. Crawley reassured everyone that the delay was not deliberate and explained the situation calmly.<\/p>\n Speaking to reporters after the second day of the fourth Test in Manchester, Crawley mentioned that he was in the dressing room until he noticed the umpires stepping out, which he thought was the usual routine.<\/p>\n While he recognized Gill’s viewpoint, Crawley emphasized that there was no intention to violate any rules. He expressed his respect for the umpires and the values of the game.<\/p>\n Crawley stated, \u201cNo, it wasn\u2019t intentional. I sit in my spot until the umpires go out. I walked out when I saw them go. I wasn\u2019t aware we were 90 seconds late, but fair enough.\u201d<\/p>\n Strong Start for England in Fourth Test<\/strong><\/p>\n On the second day of the Test, England gained a significant advantage at Old Trafford, driven by an impressive opening partnership of 166 runs between Ben Duckett, who scored 94, and Crawley, who added 84. The duo maintained a brisk pace, scoring more than five runs per over over just 32 overs, putting India under pressure.<\/p>\n This century partnership was notable, being only the fifth for Crawley and Duckett in their 53 Test innings together. Duckett’s aggressive 94 came off nearly 100 balls, while Crawley showcased his skill and composure in challenging conditions.<\/p>\n Reflecting on their partnership, Crawley shared, \u201cI love batting with him. He\u2019s a phenomenal player. He scores effortlessly \u2014 today, almost a run-a-ball \u2014 and that takes pressure off me. We communicate well in the middle, and with our left-right combination and height difference, I\u2019m sure it\u2019s tricky for bowlers when we\u2019re both going.\u201d<\/p>\n At the end of the day, England managed to reach 225 for two, trailing India\u2019s first-innings total of 358 by just 133 runs. <\/p>\n – Ends<\/strong><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Crawley Reacts to Late Arrival Claim During Test Match England\u2019s opener, Zak Crawley, addressed comments made by India\u2019s Shubman Gill regarding a delay in their arrival to the crease during the third Test at Lord\u2019s.
