Crawley nears ton as England zoom unscathed to 174 at Lunch

England may have fallen sick in the build-up to the opening Test of the historic Pakistan tour, but showed no signs of lethargy on the field as the openers Zak Crawley (91*) and Ben Duckett (77*) thrashed 174 runs at a startling rate of 6.44 in the first morning in Rawalpindi.

Only six batters in cricket history have brought up three figures before Lunch on the opening day of a Test match. Crawley missed out on joining the elite club as he headed into the interval unbeaten on 91.
