Bumrah to Duckett, out Bowled!! Bumrah gets his man and he's pumped up. Punches the air and yells I0$ Should have removed the left-hander in the previous over, didn't review. Conceded a couple of fours this over and he has the last laugh. The crowd goes berserk. 142.4kph, in-swinging length ball that further nips back in off the seam.
