Unbelievable feeling to see everybody standing in balcony: England's Zak Crawley after maiden Test hundred

India Today  

England batsman Zak Crawley had a nagging feeling early in his innings that a hundred was on the cards before he powered on to realise his dream of a first test century with a sparkling unbeaten 171 against Pakistan at the Rose Bowl on Friday. Crawley's career-best score in first-class cricket led England to 332-4 at the close of the opening day of the third and final test, as he put on an unbeaten 205 for the fifth wicket with Jos Buttler. The 22-year-old Crawley had spoken in the second test of targeting a maiden five-day hundred, but a lack of concentration saw him dismissed for 53 in England's only innings when the milestone had looked on as the game meandered to a draw. "It's an unbelievable feeling, to see everybody on the balcony, it was almost like my whole career flashed before my eyes in that moment."
