"Joe keeps it simple, he just focuses on what runs needed to be scored on the day, Crawley told TNT Sports. He is the best player I have ever played with or against."
"It was a big gap after the first game, I felt calm today though, and managed to settle the nerves, added Crawley, who got a pair in the first Test. I tried to keep it simple. I was gutted to get out when I did because the pitch was getting a little flatter. I had a clear plan and stuck to it. I tried to hit the ball hard if they came into my area onto my pads. There was still a few loose"
Ben Stokes won the toss and elected to bat as England pushed to 325 for nine on the opening day of the second Ashes Test at the Gabba.

Mitchell Starc claimed a six-wicket haul and surpassed Wasim Akram with 415 Test dismissals, including Harry Brook caught for 31.
