England vs Zimbabwe, Four-day Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Series: Zimbabwe tour of England, 2025 Venue: Trent Bridge, Nottingham Date & Time: May 22-May 26, 11:00 AM LOCAL

Zak Crawley 124(171)

65.1
W
Raza to Crawley, out Lbw!! That looked straight and Crawley has been given OUT LBW. He has a chat with his partner and opts to review. Looked pretty adjacent to the naked eye, Crawley was shaping for the big sweep and missed, drifted with the angle after pitching and struck him in front of middle. No bat and UltraEdge confirms the same, onto ball-tracking: It's three reds, smashing into leg-stump and Crawley is OUT. cbatt walks off to a standing ovation from the crowd, played a superb hand and has put his team in total control, did get a decent stride on the sweep, but was always in trouble once the original call went against him - 1st decision for umpire Allahudien Paleker as ICC Elite Panel umpire and he gets it spot on.
