IND vs ENG: Bazball suffers blow after Crawley’s departure despite England’s intent

England's infamous Bazball approach suffered a blow after opener Zak Crawley's dismissal in the 1st innings of IND vs ENG 2nd Test

England’s infamous Bazball approach suffered a blow after opener Zak Crawley’s dismissal in the 1st innings of IND vs ENG 2nd Test. The English opener got off to a flying start, and raced away to a half-century in a quick time, redefining the approach of the new England coach.

IND vs ENG: Crawley passes with flying colours in Bazball

Crawley played a stunning 76-run knock off 78 deliveries, studded with 11 fours and two sixes. Striking at almost 100, He opened the England batting line-up with the exact intent that the team was hyped about so far.

However, Crawley’s dismissal seemed to be the beginning of the end for the Bazball approach. While all the other batters tried to be aggressive, they hardly managed to convert their good starts into better scores.

Joe Root managed to score just 5 runs before being dismissed by Bumrah. Ollie Pope was the next to depart after a brilliant yorker that sent the stumps scattering by Bumrah, yet again. Jonny Bairstow, Ben Foakes and Rehan Ahmed were the next victims of Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav.
