Harshit Rana from the other end. The first ball is a half-tracker as Duckett pulls it through midwicket for a four. The ball again stays low as he under edges the next ball trying to play the cut shot. The ball narrowly misses the stump and goes to the right of wicketkeeper K L Rahul for another boundary.
The left-hander guides the fourth ball to thirdman for a single and Salt is unable to get a run off the last two balls.
Shami with his second over. Duckett gets a thick outside edge trying to cut as the ball flies over the slip fielder. Debutant Chakravarthy puts in the dive running to his right at thirdman but is unable to stop the ball and concedes a four.
The next ball stays low as the left-hander is beaten trying to slash it square.
Two more dot balls before Shami strays with his line, bowling full on the stumps, and Duckett easily clips it off his pads for another four.
