ben duckett scored quickly as did crawley. but australia, nathan lyon off the pitch with what looks like a serious calf injury. australia had to try something so they bowled short and tempted england to hit the ball towards fielders and that is what duckett and pope did, whatjoe root did. some may say it was naive that england would stay and spray. they have given themselves a chance to reclaim the initiative on the third day here at lords. it was a case of so near yet so farfor the england opener ben duckett. he was two runs away from a first ashes century after a superb knock until his luck ran out. but despite missing out on getting his name on the lord's honour board, duckett says he is happy with how he played. at the start of the day i would have been over the moon if i had felt so close to scoring three figures here at lords. i am obviously gutted but i am happy with how i played throughout the innings and i thought it was my best england innings. i was gutted for 30 minutes afterwards but i am happy with how i played.

keep your eye on ben duckett, he has all the shots, total b on 300 but in truth friday mornings don'tlord's. so england very dominant so far. joejoins me now. this has been a very one sided affair so far, so has this affected practice ahead of the ashes? 50 has this affected practice ahead of the ashes?— of the ashes? that's a reasonable auestion of the ashes? that's a reasonable question to _ of the ashes? that's a reasonable question to ask— of the ashes? that's a reasonable question to ask right _ of the ashes? that's a reasonable question to ask right now. - of the ashes? that's a reasonable question to ask right now. it - of the ashes? that's a reasonable | question to ask right now. it would have been trickier for england's batsmen had just a little, i laet�*s best bowler, been playing but we know having played in the ipl he is resting because let's face it in different formats of cricket ireland have more significant matches to come. stuart broad would say they prefer playing in matches rather than going through practice sessions but when we reflect on the fact that ben duckett

duckett displayed his speciality shots and enter a similar rate, pope showed his full. coming right at you. well, as the day wore on, the need for the sun, the question appeared to be how many did they want to score? and indeed, just how quickly. after lunch the scoring rate hit ted in over at one stage, pope inventing new ways to make island hurt. perhaps it helped england, hard to see how it was assisting ireland's development. despite the prestige of the setting. little that resembled cricket against australia, except him, all the gear, and already here. nervous on 199? well, hardly. ali pope completed his first double centre of the england, the fastest ever scored in england. and that was enough. england soon declared. so ireland's 352 behind, would not again. josh tong to take his first ever test and in the very same over, here comes a second. the third followed too. england will enjoy the side of things going right, knowing there will be ashes challenges ahead. let's have a quick look at some of the other headlines. sam allardyce has left leeds united by mutual co

exit ben duckett, 22-1. the consequences. exit ben duckett, 22—1. but in fact the technology revealed he had hit it and would have been out. australia had not realised. they were keener on this. nathan lyon convinced ollie pope was leg before wicket. nick pope was gone —— ollie pope was gone. he repaid his captain with 50. starting as he means to go on. crawley had been going so well, butjust before lunch he got a tiny neck through to the keeper. australia reviewed it and he was given out. that wicket means england are now 124—3. i think it is still two things in australia's favour. england chose to bat on a pitch that is offering plenty of runs and the t0 is offering plenty of runs and the to do in order to get them. this was one of the most anticipated ashes series in years. this morning's action has not let us down. patrick gearey at edgbaston. time for a look at the weather, here's ben rich. will be whether let us down? i suspect it might over the next few days. a fine start for the cricket, beautiful summer

and in response, england closed just 20 runs behind on 152—1, ben duckett starring with the bat.ii innings since returning to the test side. ultimately the day couldn't have gone much betterfor us. we won the toss and bowled, and helpful conditions for that first hour and a half, then the sun came out in the pitch played a lot nicer. it was crucial we got those first four wickets in that first session, and the way the guys played with the bat tonight was pretty awesome. so yeah, we put ourselves in a really good position, but like always in test cricket, you've got to back that up the next day. golf now — and america's davis riley is the man to catch at the top of the leaderboard after the opening round of golf�*s memorial tournament in ohio. he began with an opening round of five under par to finish the day, one shot clear of england's matt wallace. there are seven players tied on three under. defending champion billy horschel had an opening round to forget, finishing on 12 over par. germany's maximilian kleffer and sweden's simon forsstrom share the lead at the end of thursday'
