2nd ODI: Root And Duckett Smash Fifties, Livingstone Hits 41 As England Post 304
With Shubman Gill: Joe Root and Ben Duckett smashed 69 and 65 respectively while Liam Livingstone applied finishing touches with his 41 as England posted a mammoth 304 in 49.5 overs in the ongoing second ODI against India at the Barabati Stadium on Sunday.
For India, Ravindra Jadeja starred with the ball by picking 3-35 in his ten overs and kept his economy rate below four, even as other bowlers had their economy rates above five. Meanwhile, England will be pleased with posting a total more than 300 and batting for longer periods, something which has eluded them in the 50-over format for a long time.
Electing to bat first, Duckett was at his best self from the word go and give England a flying start to their innings. It also helped that he was offered short and wide balls as well as some balls going down leg, which meant Duckett picked nine boundaries with ease.
