"This was not a pitch on which you should leave too many balls" - England batter Ben Duckett after stumps on Day 3 of Multan Test vs Pakistan 2024

After stumps on Day 3, England batter Ben Duckett gave an update about his thumb injury and reflected on his team's batting performance, saying:

"The thumb is fine. We batted extremely well today. This was not a pitch on which you should leave too many balls. It is, obviously, a very good pitch for batting."

He added:

"Joe Root is an extraordinary player and we consider ourselves fortunate to witness greatness in front of our eyes. Yet, he is still so humble about his achievements. We have to keep batting and hopefully, we will have some time to bowl them out."
