3rd Test: Duckett’s 88-ball Whirlwind Ton Helps England Reach 207/2 After India Post 445 In First Innings
Niranjan Shah Stadium: The left-handed opener Ben Duckett smashed the fastest Test century by an England batter in India to take the visitors to 207/2 in 35 overs at stumps on day two of the third Test at the Niranjan Shah Stadium on Friday.
England trail India by 238 runs after bowling out the hosts for 445 on an engrossing day of Test cricket, thanks to Duckett’s attacking display with the bat. Duckett reached his century in 88 balls and ended the day at 133 not out off 118 balls, laced with 21 fours and two sixes, to leave India on the back-foot.
Post tea, Duckett continued his onslaught on the Indian bowlers, sweeping firmly against Kuldeep Yadav twice, followed by driving and slamming Mohammed Siraj for two fours. Duckett reverse-swept Kuldeep and steered Siraj twice through the gap on the off-side to get his fifty in just 39 balls.
