England top order battle rages on as Duckett and Gay pile on runs

We're almost a month into the County Championship season - with big scores coming from a plethora of England Test contenders, the international top order picture doesn't seem to be getting any clearer.

Under-fire opener Zak Crawley has failed to reverse his fortunes in the start of his season with Division Two Kent - notching a lacklustre 27 and 31 in their latest defeat. Ben Duckett, England's other opener, bettered his first-innings half-century with a much-needed 93 to edge closer to holding on to his berth in the Test side.
