  "account": "Ben Duckett delivered a resolute century as England's innings faltered against Pakistan. England was dismissed for 241 in 46.4 overs in the One-day International tri-series match in Lahore. Shaheen Shah Afridi's brilliant opening spell, ending with 4-46, contributed significantly to England's downfall. The visitors' wickets fell regularly, primarily due to Pakistan's formidable bowling attack led by Shaheen. Tom Banton was the first to fall for four in the first over, while Joe Root quickly followed with a catch to Saim Ayub. England's captain, Harry Brook, also departed for a single after a run-out involving debutant Razaullah and wicket-keeper Saad Baig. Haris Rauf added to England's misery when Jordan Cox edged to Babar Azam for six. Despite the setbacks, Duckett kept England afloat, reaching his half-century off 56 balls as England climbed to 100 in the 20th over. His well-timed cuts, drives, sweeps, and boundary-hitting helped keep the scoreboard moving. Sam Curran added 93 runs for the fifth wicket, steering England from 52-4 to 145 before Shaheen returned to break the partnership. Curran scored 42 off 52 balls, including five fours, with Duckett contributing 105 off 111 deliveries, including 10 fours and two sixes. England's efforts were ultimately thwarted as they lost Will Jacks and Liam Dawson, with Arafat Minhas and Haris Rauf finishing the job.",

The visitors’ regular fall of wickets owed much to a brilliant opening spell by Pakistan captain Shaheen Shah Afridi, who finished with figures of 4-46 to leave England…",
