Two slips and a gully, Crawley defends a rising ball into the on side for no run.
He defends the next too.
Nathan Lyon will be key in this innings, you’d think. This pitch has been turning for Moeen Ali, and Nathan Lyon is a better bowler than him.
But Cummins has a job to do first and he’s getting Crawley defending.
Crawley is rapped on the pad trying to work a straight ball to the on side, and they run a leg bye to get off the mark as the ball trickles to point.
The field is very much out, so those singles are available.
Duckett clips off his pads and gets a single to midwicket.
EDGED! It falls just short of Cam Green at gully, good fielding to stop the four. Great ball, Crawley being squared.
Crawley fends to point and gets an easy single.
It felt like I wrote “easy single” a lot in England’s first innings – seems like we’re in that mode again.
