England will look to defy a placid pitch and push for victory in the first Test against the West Indies after a long-awaited century from Zak Crawley steered them away from danger.
Zak Crawley's undefeated second Test century and a composed, unbeaten 84 by skipper Joe Root pushed England towards safety at 217 for one in their second innings on a rain-shortened fourth day of the first Test at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on Friday. Having trailed by 64 runs at the start of the innings, the tourists ended the day ahead by 153 and with nine wickets in hand. They may entertain the thought of trying to force victory on the final day although the benign nature of the pitch suggests a tame draw is almost inevitable.
