Zak Crawley ton puts England on top of Windies in first Test

The Hindu  

A second career century by opener Zak Crawley and a confident captain's knock by Joe Root lifted England into a commanding position, 153 runs ahead in their second innings after day four of the first Test against West Indies on Friday. Crawley and Root scored freely for an unbeaten 193-run second-wicket partnership, pushing England to 217 for one in North Sound on the island of Antigua, where stumps were drawn early due to a late afternoon tropical downpour. While a draw is still probably the most likely result, the partnership all but eliminated any chance of a West Indies victory barring an extremely bold declaration by Root early on the final day. After West Indies scored at a snail's pace in eking out a 64-run first innings lead, England quickly wiped out the deficit, playing with intent rather than simply trying to occupy the crease.
