Ben Duckett on England’s win in Rajkot
It’s a big moment for this team because it could have gone a different way. Credit to the guys for doing exactly what [Brendon McCullum] wants us to go and do. It’s to entertain. At times it’s not going to work, and that’s fine. But we could easily be 2-1 up in the series if things had gone a little bit better for us at the back end of the second game.
Preamble
Hello and welcome to episode four of Bazball Nights, England’s new white-ball spin-off. So far it’s been great fun, with episodes devoted to mystery spin, raw pace and tediously extended metaphors and canny left-arm seam.
England won superbly in Rajkot to keep the series alive, when their counter-intuitive decision to pick four genuinely quick bowlers paid off; another win today would set up a series decider at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. And even if they lose, the cricket will never, ever be dull.
The match starts at 1.30pm
