27th over: England 160-1 (Duckett 65, Pope 31) A solitary leg bye off Mark Adair’s first over, sun beginning to burn off the cloud in North London.
26th over: England 159-1 (Duckett 65, Pope 31) Graham Hume bustles in for the first over of the day and his first delivery is cut away for four by the diminuitive Duckett! A tad short and rasped to the fence. A single brings Pope on strike and England’s Vice Captain opens his account for the day with a flick through square-leg for a couple. Seven off the first over. Could be a few hours of hard toil for Ireland in the offing here.
