Duckett’s knock, full of authority and invention, kept England ahead even as India fought back with four wickets in the second session.Jasprit Bumrah bowled a probing opening spell, while Shardul Thakur briefly lifted India’s hopes with the wickets of Duckett and Harry Brook in successive balls. But Joe Root (53*) and debutant Jamie Smith (44*) combined for an unbroken 71-run stand to see England home with ease. Smith sealed the win with a towering six off Ravindra Jadeja. India will rue dropped chances and inconsistent bowling on a placid surface. The second Test begins at Edgbaston, Birmingham, from July 2–6, with India needing a strong response to avoid falling further behind in the series.
