"Duckett getting a few runs on the board before the baby arrives"
England opener Ben Duckett, who is expecting the birth of his child, smashed a 32-ball fifty in the first session of the second Test against West Indies at Trent Bridge. The left-hand batter ended with a 59-ball 71, including 14 fours. England also registered the fastest-team fifty ever in Men’s Tests, reaching the landmark in 26 balls. Needless to say, there were plenty of reactions on social media.
