England walloped India by five wickets and few minutes to spare on Day 5 of a thrilling first Test of the series at Headingley in Leeds. Chasing 371 runs and 350 of them on the final day, English opener Ben Duckett punched out a splendid 149 from just 170 deliveries, and shared an attacking 188-run opening partnership with half-centurion Zak Crawley.
