India fast bowler Prince Yadav picked up his maiden wicket of the match by dismissing England opener Ben Duckett after the latter\u2019s record-breaking century within the third and final ODI of the three-match series at Lord\u2019s, London, on Sunday, July 19.<\/span><\/p>\n Duckett\u2019s innings got here to an end on the third delivery of the forty fourth over. Prince delivered a slower short ball into the pitch, tempting the left-hander to play across the road. Nonetheless, Duckett only managed a toe-ended return catch, which Prince safely held to finish his outstanding knock.<\/span><\/p>\n Watch the video here:<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.ecb.co.uk\/video\/4538599\/ben-duckett-wicket<\/a><\/p>\n Duckett smashed 141 off 135 deliveries, hitting 18 fours and a six to register the best individual ODI rating at Lord\u2019s. In doing so, he eclipsed Viv Richards\u2019 unbeaten 138 from 157 balls, recorded against England within the 1979 World Cup final.<\/span><\/p>\n After electing to bat first, England received a solid start from openers Jacob Bethell and Ben Duckett, who put together a 58-run stand contained in the powerplay. The partnership flourished as Bethell reached his fifty in 51 balls through the sixteenth over, helping England move to 125\/0 after 20 overs. <\/span><\/p>\n Duckett followed with a half-century of his own, bringing it up in 64 deliveries within the twenty second over. The opening duo stitched together a 192-run partnership from 181 balls before Prasidh Krishna ended the stand by dismissing Bethell for a well-made 91 off 93 deliveries within the thirty first over, denying him a century. <\/span><\/p>\n Joe Root then joined Duckett on the crease, and the pair maintained England\u2019s scoring rate. Duckett\u2019s outstanding innings got here to an end at 141 off 135 balls, featuring 18 fours and a six, after he was caught and bowled by Prince Yadav. Before his dismissal, he and Root had added 101 runs off just 80 balls for the second wicket. <\/span><\/p>\n Root also continued his impressive form by registering one other half-century. On the time of writing, England were 315\/2 after 46 overs, with Root unbeaten on 50 from 39 balls and Harry Brook batting on 10 off nine deliveries.<\/span><\/p>\n Get the most recent cricket news here, like us on Facebook<\/a>, and follow us on Twitter<\/a> and Instagram <\/a> for more such updates.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nBen Duckett\u2019s Sensible Century Powers England Towards Massive Total<\/span><\/h3>\n
