BEN LOVES THRILL OF THE CHASE

England's belief never wavered

BEN DUCKETT warned no target is safe from England’s Bazball cavaliers after their breathtaking chase at Headingley.

In a glorious prelude to this winter’s Ashes crusade, Duckett led the hosts’ pursuit of 371 to win the first Test against India by five wickets — their second-highest victory chase - with a brilliant century.

And it sent a message to Australia which read like a ransom note.

England’s three biggest successful run chases in Tests have come in the past six years, two of them from skipper Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum’s acclaimed Bazball manual.
