W
Akash Deep to Duckett, out Caught by Dhruv Jurel!! Oh he tries the reverse scoop and edges it to the keeper. Akash Deep gets his man. He celebrates right in front of Duckett - fist pumps right in his face and then puts his arm around the shoulder and has a few words with Duckett as he walks off. Seemed like controlled aggression and nothing ugly. Still will draw the attention of the match officials though. One of the Indian players - looked like KL Rahul - pulled Akash back. This was a fullish delivery nipping away, Duckett went for an aggressive reverse scoop, gets a feather and goes straight to Jurel. India have finally broken the threatening stand. Duckett c Dhruv Jurel b Akash Deep 43(38) [4s-5 6s-2]

Prasidh to Duckett, no ball, FOUR, excellent placement. Man at deep square leg, so he had to ensure he played in front of square and that is exactly what he did. Knew Prasidh was going to bowl into the wicket and was ready for a smash through mid-wicket

8.2
Akash Deep to Duckett, 1 run, manages to work it to short mid-wicket
8.1
Akash Deep to Duckett, no run, yes! Akash has swapped ends and he troubles Duckett with an away-going ball. Half-hearted LBW check, meanwhile yes-no between the batters. Crawley wanted a run, Duckett didn't know where the ball went, looked towards square leg, realized it went to point but it was all too late by then and Crawley shut the door. India didn't review the LBW call becuase of height

Siraj to Duckett, SIX, oh dear! Another neat little shot right out of the Brendon McCullum playbook that gives England the full monty. A full delivery outside off, Duckett shuffles in, almost like he anticipated it and ramps it almost perfectly over the keeper for a very six. Hits the boundary cushions on the full - six!!
