Ben Duckett`s quick-fire 71 ensured England made a rapid start to the second Test of the ENG vs WI Test series at Trent Bridge, with the hosts racing to 134-2 at lunch on Thursday`s first day.
England, sent in by West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite, lost Duckett`s fellow opener Zak Crawley to just the third ball of the match. But Ben Stokes` side still surged to 50 in a mere 4.2 overs -- the quickest a side have reached that total in a Test match. As a result, this was also the highest total after five overs of a Test.
