In a One-day International tri-series match at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Sunday, Pakistan restricted England to 241 runs despite Ben Duckett scoring a century. Pakistan captain Shaheen Shah Afridi took four wickets, including dismissing Joe Root and Harry Brook early in the innings, finishing with figures of 4-46. Despite Duckett’s valiant efforts (105 off 111 balls), England struggled to build partnerships after their top order crumbled, leaving them well short of a competitive total against Pakistan’s formidable bowling attack.
