ENG vs IND | Twitter reacts as Duckett's 149 sees England chase down 371 with authority in Leeds


England controlled a record chase of 371 with masterful precision to take home Headingley honours on Day 5 by five wickets. Ben Duckett's 149 in a 188-run opening stand with Zak Crawley put the hosts in control, before a half-century from Joe Root killed off the game after a brief Indian revival.
