England opener Zak Crawley said “I owe it to myself to have a few more good performances” following his sparkling 84 in the fourth Test against India at Old Trafford.

“I always want more from myself and I’ve certainly wanted more for myself than I’ve got in the last year or so,” said Crawley, whose elegant style has often, if perhaps unfairly, led to accusations of a cavalier attitude.

He also told reporters: “I just feel like I owe it to myself to have a few more good performances. I don’t think I’ve ever got out in my life and not been annoyed and I was certainly annoyed [after getting out on Thursday].”
