England end Day 3 at 50/1 in 13.5 overs, needing another 324 to win with the opening partnership coming to an end in the penultimate delivery shortly after breaching the fifty-mark! Crawley, who engages in some time-wasting tactics earlier in the over much like he did at Lord’s earlier this series, is unable to bring his bat down in time to block out an inswinging yorker from Siraj.
