Prasidh to Duckett, out Caught by Rahul!! There it is, there's the edge and it's been safely taken! Gill is absolutely pumped, he loves it! Fuller and outside off, Duckett is sucked into a drive and he wasn't quite committed to the front-foot. It took a thick outside edge and flew to Rahul's right at second slip. Was safely held and the Indian fielders all rushed in to celebrate. Finally one found the edge after so many beat it and India have their reward for some top-class bowling this morning. The celebration seemed to suggest a plan bearing fruit, maybe that's exactly what it was. They not only planned well but also executed well against Duckett. Duckett c Rahul b Prasidh 54(83) [4s-6]
