Champions Trophy, Feb 19 - March 9

This time Ben Duckett scores a 4 on wrong one by Adam Zampa. But this was short whereas other two wrong ones were full which he missed getting the bat. Nicely cut.

4 more on the very next ball. 8 runs in 2 balls. Spoils Adam Zampa's economy rate a bit.

[meninblue]

150/2 in 22 overs. Nothing in the wicket apart from the typical low bounce of subcobtinental pitches. England will need to continue this as big scire is very much needed for this surface and outfield is quick.

[meninblue]

125 runs parthership. Easy wicket to bat on and these two have put England in position to score over 350 runs. Anything below 350 is not safe here.

[meninblue]

152 runs (144 balls) partnership.

Lahore looks like a road.

400 on the cards?

[meninblue]

200/2 in 30 overs. Given that there is no help for bowlers here, Australia will not mind this score though.

[mikesiva]

Root out for 68.

Duckett gets his century!

400 on the cards?

Won't be surprised, Mike. If there was a 400 run scenario this match is one considering the wickets, score card position and also that Aus are playing only 4 specialist bowlers.

100 for Ben Duckett. Has paced the innings well. Deserves tgis and indeed gets it.

[Durhamfootman]

Root out.... start of the slide?

[Durhamfootman]

is that another chip to mid off?

[Durhamfootman]

sadly for Zampa, he can't play England every game, so he'd better fill his boots while he can

[meninblue]

4 down. Harry Brook showed the right intent but he couldn't middle it. Instead of going over long on for six it is a easy catch at backward point. Couldn't execute the shot properly. Outer edge. The two wickets (Joe and Harry) taken by Adam Zampa in consecutive overs will give huge relief to Steven Smith.

[meninblue]

Ben Duckett is playing so well. Hope he gets 150.

Sloppy from zampa! No ball! And the free hit goes for 6!
