Ben Duckett scored a century as England recovered from 19 for three to reach 241 all out against Pakistan in Lahore.

Ben Duckett scored his fifth ODI century as England recovered from a dire start to reach 241 all out against Pakistan in Lahore. England had slumped to 19 for three, losing Tom Banton and Joe Root to Pakistan captain Shaheen Shah Afridi before Harry Brook ran himself out attempting a second run.

Duckett then rebuilt the innings alongside Sam Curran, who scored 42. The pair put on a 93-run stand that blunted Pakistan's attack and prevented further collapse. Duckett had previously scored 165 against Australia in the same venue during last year's Champions Trophy.

Pakistan's Shaheen Shah Afridi eventually broke the partnership by bouncing out Curran, while ODI debutant Razaullah took an outstanding one-handed catch to dismiss Will Jacks for 13. Apart from Duckett, England's batting was poor throughout, with Jordan Cox also falling to the Pakistan bowling.
