Ben Duckett insisted he had no regrets about the shot which cost him an Ashes century at Lord's and claimed: “It was my best knock for England.”
In another gripping day on the Bazball rollercoaster, Duckett fell just two runs short of a thrilling ton, top-edging an attempted hook off Josh Hazlewood to David Warner at deep fine leg.
Closing on 278-4, still 138 runs adrift of Australia's 416 all out in the second Test, England lost three top-order batsmen in seven overs to strokes somewhere between misadventure and kamikaze.
