Duckett’s dazzling 149 powers England to historic run chase win over India at Headingley

Ben Duckett produced a stunning 149 to lead England to a record-breaking run chase of 371 against India on the final day of the first Test at Headingley, securing a five-wicket win.

His partnership of 188 with Zak Crawley (65) laid the foundation before a brief wobble saw India threaten a comeback.

Steady contributions from Joe Root (53\*), Ben Stokes, and debutant Jamie Smith (44\*) guided England home with 14 overs to spare, marking their second-highest successful pursuit and etching Duckett’s name alongside Headingley legends.
