ENG 125/2, Crawley brings up fifty as visitors march on confidently

India vs England LIVE

After 26 overs, England 125/2 (Zak Crawley 51, Ollie Pope 18)

Ravichandran Ashwin introduced for the first time today, and he’s three wickets short of the 500-milestone. Big appeal for caught-behind against Ollie Pope, who attempts to reverse-sweep Ashwin, with the ball kicking up higher than usual. The umpire however, shakes his head and the Indians decide against going for the review as well. Turns out the ball had brushed his arm. Expensive over from Axar next up, conceding 13 off it including three boundaries — the first of which brings up Zak Crawley’s half-century.
