Scorecard
With Root out in the middle, India bring back Bumrah, who has dismissed the England veteran batter 10 time in Tests.
Root clips the second ball to fine leg for a single and Duckett takes one to point off the fourth ball.
Root offers no shot to the fifth ball before he blocks the last ball on the off-side.
Duckett in total control as he taps Prasidh on the off-side for a single. Prasidh cuts Root into two with a superb delivery which jags in sharply and beats the right-hander on the inside edge, going through the gap between bat and pad.
Root is struck on the body as he misses the pull shot as Duckett nearly loses his wicket to run out as he calls his partner for an overthrow but he is unmoved. Duckett recovers in time as he turns back and makes his crease.
Prasidh in midst of a terrific spell as he beats the well-set Duckett on the outside edge with a full delivery which swings away to past the outside edge.
