Duckett's century salvages England from collapse in Pakistan ODI defeat

Facing a precarious 19 for three, England relied on Ben Duckett's aggressive batting to revive their innings, eventually scoring 241 before being bowled out. Duckett partnered with Sam Curran, who added 42, and together they blunted Pakistan’s spin attack until the 29th over. Gus Atkinson contributed three sixes in a brisk 36-not-out, while Harry Brook was run out early in the chase.

Pakistan’s captain Shaheen Shah Afridi took four wickets, dismissing Curran, Will Jacks and debutant Henry Crocombe. The defeat marks England's third consecutive loss in the ongoing tri-series, jeopardising their chances of reaching the final.
