England is keeping a close eye on Ben Duckett's fitness after the opener suffered a suspected dislocated thumb on his left hand while fielding during the second day of the opening Test against Pakistan. The injury forced him to miss the beginning of his team's first innings. Sources within the England camp expressed optimism that Duckett would be able to bat at some point on Wednesday after resting the injury overnight. While there are currently no plans for a scan, his condition will be thoroughly evaluated once any swelling decreases. The team is in urgent need of all available batting strength as they work to chase down Pakistan’s first-innings total of 556.
