Harmison suggested that India lacked a clear plan to dismiss Duckett, who scored a brilliant 149. Harmison noted that India didn’t seem to believe they could get Duckett out and failed to bowl the correct lengths and lines. He also pointed out that India’s fielding efforts were insufficient, allowing England to easily take singles. The English team secured a victory, chasing a target of 371 runs with Duckett’s remarkable performance, achieving the second-highest successful run chase on English soil. India, despite having five century-makers in the match, ended up on the losing side, with Shubman Gill losing his first test as captain.
