And the rain is back! Play has been halted on Day 5 of the first Test between India and England at Headingley in Leeds due to rain. The interruption came during the second session, with England in a strong position at 181/0 while chasing a target of 371.
England need another 190 runs to win the first Test as their openers Ben Duckett (105 not out) and Zak Crawley (59 not out) have set them up perfectly against the Indian attack.
Duckett made the most of a lifeline when Yashasvi Jaiswal dropped the England opener on 98, failing to keep hold of the ball while diving in front of him with the batter mishitting a short ball off Mohammed Siraj.
Earlier in the first session, Crawley got a lifeline when Jasprit Bumrah failed to take a tough return catch on his follow-through.
Duckett has so far cracked 13 fours while Crawley has been comparatively subdued, reaching 57 with from 119 balls with six fours.
