Hardik Pandya shares the new ball again and soon hits Duckett on the side of the helmet – jaw rather than temple. There’s a dot of blood on his cheek as the physio conducts the noe-standard tests, but happily Duckett looks fine.

1st over: England 8-1 (Duckett 2, Buttler 1) Salt had started so well, needing only one ball to improve on his duck in the first game. It was a gentle inswinger from Arshdeep and Salt clipped it over midwicket for a promising four. That’s the trouble with promise: ou can’t always believe it.
