Duckett's 143-ball commanding innings was studded with 17 fours and three sixes, while Joe Root contributed 68 after England were asked to bat first.

For Australia, Ben Dwarshuis took three wickets for 66 runs while Adam Zampa and Marnus Labuschagne chipped in with two each.

Zampa dishes out a googly, on a nagging length, around off, Brook steps out to go down the ground but the ball catches the outer half of the bat and it gets sliced towards backward point.

Drinks! England are going well so far as Ben Duckett has just reached his hundred and they are looking for a total above 350 from here easily. The onus will be on Duckett to bat through as much as he can and play his shot more freely now. The upcoming batters are more destructive for England in Jos Buttler and Liam Livingstone so they are well lined up for a good score. On the other hand, Australia have just chipped in a big wicket of Joe Root and they will be looking to get a couple of wickets in quick time to claw their way back.
