[Watch] Ben Stokes’ reaction sums up Zak Crawley’s unfortunate run out in England vs West Indies 2nd Test
Zak Crawley continues his poor run in the second Test between England and the West Indies on Day 3 by departing cheaply in the second innings on Saturday, July 20. The right-hander departed for just three runs off four balls, getting run out in one of the most unfortunate ways possible.
The dismissal came in the second over of England’s second innings. Jayden Seales bowled a full length and Ben Duckett went for a straight drive. The speedster tried to stop the ball but only managed his fingertips. Luckily, the ball hit the stumps at the non-striker’s end and Crawley was not his crease.
Following the wicket, captain Ben Stokes shook his head in disappointment while Crawley looked dejected on his way to the pavilion. Notably, Crawley departed for a duck in the first innings.
