MANCHESTER, England : England's unwavering commitment to playing attacking cricket without fear under captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendan McCullum was once again vindicated on Thursday when the hosts took control of the fourth Ashes test against Australia.
England responded emphatically on the second day under a sunlit sky before an enthusiastic capacity crowd of 22,500 by dismissing Australia for 317 in their first innings, scoring 178 in the second session at 7.12 runs an over, with opener Zak Crawley reaching 189, to close the day with a lead of 67 and six wickets in hand.

His approach to leadership and coaching reflects his batting on the international stage, which combined lightening reflexes, compact strength and astonishing bat speed to help launch the Indian Premier League with 158 in his first match and then took him to the fastest century in test match history in his final game.
