Zak Crawley is one of the English cricketers who is currently being discussed after making a counterattack on day 2 for Pakistan after losing in the previous match.
Zak Crawley took advantage of the reshuffle of the English line-up to show aggressive intentions at the start of the game, he easily punished the fast attacks launched by Pakistani players.
Stand-in captain Ollie Pope opened the game with Zak Crawley after Ben Duckett injured his thumb while taking the ball out for Pakistan’s last player Abrar Ahmed. However, Ollie Pope’s game did not last long because he was dismissed due to a duck by Aamer Jamal with a stunning one-handed catch at midwicket.
From there, Zak Crawley replied to Pakistan mercilessly, while Joe Root provided solid support with 32 unbeaten runs until the end of the England team’s match against Pakistan. The England team hopes that the duet of Zak Crawley and Joe Root can bring the winning momentum back on day 3. Ben Duckett, meanwhile, is expected to recover from his thumb injury and feature in the final innings.
