Duckett and Dawson deliver in England's consolation win

While Duckett's 105 against Pakistan held a poor England innings together, here he was ruthless.
With very little swing or seam movement on offer, Duckett was able to back himself to flay anything wide of the off stump and timed the ball exquisitely off his pads when Sri Lanka were forced to bowl straighter.
They attempted to test with the short ball, too, but he was particularly prolific against it as the seamers lacked the pace to really trouble him.
It was also an impressive display of fitness from a player who has spoken about how hard he has worked at that part of his game, eventually falling in the 42nd over from a miscued ramp as the fatigue appeared to take its toll.
