Ben Docket, who scored a half -century in the first innings, created a panic in this innings.

Great performance of docket
On the fifth day of the Leeds Test, when the Indian bowlers gave a tough fight, Ben Docket proved his ability on the field. Chasing the target of 371 runs is not easy for any team, especially when the opposition team has bowlers like Jaspreet Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj and famous Krishna. But Docket not only faced the pressure, but also traveled to a century with his brilliant technology and patience. He took 121 balls to reach a century. Which included 14 fours.
Ben Docket managed to get England a good start even in the first innings. He scored 62 runs off 94 balls in the first innings. Which included 9 fours. At the same time, now he managed to score a century. Let me tell you, this is the first time in the last 15 years when an English over has scored a century in the fourth innings. Earlier, Elastair Cook did this feat.
Strong partnership with Jack Croly
Ben Docket has also shared a historic partnership in this innings with Jack Croly. By the time the news was written, both the players had added 181 runs for the first wicket. This is the first time since the year 2000 when the opening pair has shared so many runs in a Test match. At the same time, this is also the biggest partnership in the fourth innings of the Test on this ground. Earlier in the year 1949, the pair of New Zealand’s Vadun Scott and Burt Sutklif shared 112 runs for the first wicket in the fourth innings of the Leeds Test.
