In theory, the fuel pump should run while the starter is cranking.

But, I can picture it not running. Have you ever noticed that the lights dim when you crank the starter. Your starter draws so much current that it could depress the voltage going to the fuel pump so much that it does not run, or runs poorly.

Have you tried turning the ignition to run and wait for the fuel pump to stop before you try to crank the engine over?
