In an impressive batting performance, Zak Crawley and Joe Root were the stars of the show on the second day of the fourth Ashes Test at Old Trafford in Manchester. Crawley’s breathtaking innings of 189 runs left Australia shocked and put England in a strong position with a lead of 67 runs at the end of the day.
Crawley’s remarkable knock was a game-changer for England, as he became the highest-scoring England player in a home Ashes Test in the last 26 years. His innings included 21 boundaries and three sixes.
Partnering with Moeen Ali, Crawley set the stage for England’s dominance with a partnership of 121 runs. Moeen’s contribution of 54 runs at number three added to Australia’s troubles.
The double-century partnership between Crawley and Joe Root was the highlight of the day and gave England a commanding position in the match. Joe Root scored 84 runs before being dismissed.
Despite the dismissals of Crawley and Root, Harry Brook and Ben Stokes ensured the momentum remained in England’s favor with an unbroken stand of 33 runs.
Earlier in the day, James Anderson made an immediate impact by taking a wicket on the very first ball of the morning session. Chris Woakes also had a standout performance, achieving his first five-wicket haul in an Ashes Test as Australia were all out for 317.
Twitter users expressed their excitement and praised Crawley’s outstanding innings. England’s dominant performance was met with enthusiasm and anticipation for the remaining days of the test match.
