England stun India with record chase at Headingley

Leeds, June 24 (UNI) At a venue steeped in history, England wrote another Bazball chapter in bold strokes, pulling off a record fifth successful 300-plus chase at Headingley to beat India by five wickets on a gripping final day. The target was steep—371 runs—but not for this England side that has made defying the fourth-innings logic a habit.
Ben Duckett led the charge with a stunning 149, hammering India’s famed bowling attack with a blend of daring strokes and disarming composure. Zak Crawley set the platform with a gritty 77, while Joe Root, calm as ever, completed the job with an unbeaten fifty, reaffirming his status as England’s crisis anchor. Jamie Smith, on debut, added the final flourish as England cruised home in the 82nd over.
For India, it was deja vu. Just like Edgbaston 2022, where England chased down 378, the ghosts of dropped catches, middle-order meltdowns, and over-reliance on Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja came back to haunt them.
