"Duckett was closing in on a century and playing like a man who has just cleaned out the casino at Monte Carlo, playing like a kind of vengeful goblin-god, a cricketer completely in charge of space, time, angles, the face of his bat."
"It should be added that Duckett was aided in this by Sri Lanka's seamers adopting two separate modes of attack, wide and short, sometimes expertly combining the two."
"Because on the face of it this was one of the most vigorous, creative, uplifting opener's innings you're likely to see in Tests in England. It illustrates the paradox of his knock."
"Poor execution is the mantra with this England team, not poor selection. This is how I score. Back your talent. Find your neutral space."
