6.2

Arshdeep Singh to Duckett, out Caught by Rohit!! The bowler wins the battle. Ah I see you are defending the slower ball, let me see how long can you resist says Arshdeep and delivers another slower ball - the knuckle ball. Duckett couldn't keep his calm. He went for a mighty heave but it's difficult to hit slower balls with power without moving the feet. The groin niggle that he picked up definitely curbed his batting and he just went for an all-hands slog with minimal feet. Big mishit and it flew high for Rohit to swallow that at mid-off. Good of Rohit not to change Arshdeep despite those boundaries last over. Duckett c Rohit b Arshdeep Singh 34(22) [4s-8]

4.5

Arshdeep Singh to Duckett, FOUR, they did place a deep square leg before this ball so Duckett decided to move his front leg. He lifted it in the air to rock on the back leg and pull this short ball in front of square through mid-wicket. This is outstanding batting despite the niggle he has

Arshdeep Singh to Duckett, FOUR, now he's just dismissed that pull shot out of sight over mid-wicket. Arshdeep Singh tried to push him back with a bumper but it hardly mattered for Duckett that he had to move his front leg. Just fetched that around head height and smacked it over mid-wicket

Arshdeep Singh to Duckett, FOUR, now Duckett stays put and slaps it off the back foot through cover. Finds the gap between cover-point and extra-cover. This is really good batting despite not being able to move freely
4.2

Arshdeep Singh to Duckett, FOUR, slot ball and Duckett thumps it down the ground over mid-on. No one moved. Duckett is not even moving his front leg and he didn't have to because this was a hit me ball

3.1

Harshit Rana to Duckett, FOUR, and a half-fit Duckett is good enough to move around in the crease to unsettle the bowler. He gets inside the line now to scoop this length delivery easily to the fine leg fence

Harshit Rana to Duckett, no run, advances and looks to break-free, mistimes to the off-side
1.5

Harshit Rana to Duckett, FOUR, the short-arm jab pull over mid-wicket knowing Harshit Rana isn't going to offer width with this angle from round the wicket. Duckett hangs back and accesses the on-side

Harshit Rana to Duckett, FOUR, just pure wrists on that one! Fullish and on the stumps, Duckett whips it past mid-on and the ball kept pulling away from Kuldeep
1.3
Harshit Rana to Duckett, no run, short of length delivery angling in, Duckett pulls and misses. Gets hit on the back thigh. He is limping. That was pretty close to the groin as well

Arshdeep Singh to Duckett, no run, nice outie outside off stump, Duckett mistimes the push to mid-on. No feet. Will that groin niggle affect his mobility between wickets or how he plays the ball?
