LONDON : Australia took three early wickets in the opening session of the fifth and final Ashes test but Harry Brook led an England riposte as the hosts reached lunch on 131-3 on Thursday.
England, on the other hand, have a score to settle after being denied victory in Manchester when only 30 overs were possible on the last two days with Australia in deep trouble. Duckett struck Mitchell Stark for two boundaries in the fifth over, then flat-batted an 85mph Josh Hazelwood delivery to the ropes in the next over, almost cutting fellow opener Zak Crawley in half at the non-striker's end.
The missed opportunities were not too costly for Australia though as Duckett fell to the last ball of the 12th over having made 41 from 41 balls, gloving a leg-side Marsh delivery to Alex Carey, the decision being given after a DRS review.
