England batted first and were off to a rocket start largely thanks to Ben Duckett. His opening stand with Phil Salt produced 81 runs in just 65 balls before the latter fell to a rather questionable shot to Varun Chakravarthy. Duckett scored 65 in 56 balls before himself throwing it away against Ravindra Jadeja in the 16th over. (ANI)
