Sports News | Duckett Hits 95 Before England Slowed by Australia''''s Spinners to Post 315 All out

Nottingham, Sep 19 (AP) Ben Duckett hit 95 before England was slowed by Australia's spinners to post 315 all out at Trent Bridge on Thursday in the first of five one-day internationals between the fierce cricket rivals.

England would have hoped for more runs after being 211-2 after 32 overs.

In the following over bowled by part-time spinner Marnus Labuschagne, Duckett misjudged the bounce of a googly that slowed up and lofted it back to the bowler to miss out on what would have been his second ODI century.

Labuschagne then removed stand-in captain Harry Brook for 39 off another caught and bowled, and that precipitated something of a collapse by England, which lost its final seven wickets for 83 runs — mostly while attempting to hit sixes over the short boundaries in Nottingham. There were two balls left in the allotted 50 overs.
