3rd over: England 23-0 (Salt 5, Duckett 18) If you’re going to flash, flash hard. Duckett cuts Shami with venom and collects four more as Chakaravarthy manages a dive but not a clean pick-up. Shami bounces back with three dots in a row as the commentators spot some uneven bounce, which may explain why Jos Buttler opted to bat first. Duckett finishes the over with a clip to long leg for four more. That’s five fours so far, and only three singles.
2nd over: England 15-0 (Salt 5, Duckett 10) Harshit Rana, so impressive the other day, starts with a loosener. It’s short of a length and Duckett finds the middle of the bat with a crunching pull. Then Duckett gets some more luck as he under-edges an attempted cut and picks up a jammy four to long stop.
