England Lose Crawley as They Battle to Save Final Ashes Test

Ben Duckett was dismissed after an inside edge onto the stumps, leaving England trailing Australia by 103 runs at lunch on Day 4 of the Ashes Test.

  • During the lunch session on Day 4, England batter Ben Duckett was dismissed after an inside edge hit his back leg and onto the stumps, departing at 4, his highest score of the series.
  • After surviving a dropped catch by Cam Green, England’s Duckett and Jacob Bethell built a 50-run partnership amid warnings about dangerous bounce from Neser on the SCG pitch.
  • Earlier in the session, Duckett edged a thick ball off Neser and hit Green for four, scoring 32 from 36 balls at close to a run-a-ball rate; replays showed Smith likely would have caught the edge at slip.
  • England now at 2-85 with Joe Root, England batter due to come in after Ben Duckett was bowled for the fourth time this series, with commentators noting his furious walk off 'sums up his tour.'
  • Given the pitch readings, commentators said the SCG pitch looked a bit dicy at times and high-pace deliveries that exploded off the pitch, including one at 141 Ks an hour, pose ongoing challenges.
