England hammered by India in their final ODI
Buttler’s team’s Champions Trophy build-up dented by Duckett worry

ENGLAND signed off a miserable white-ball tour of India with a 3-0 one-day international series whitewash defeat and major concerns about an injury to Ben Duckett ahead of the Champions Trophy.

Duckett tweaked his groin towards the end of India’s 356 all out as a patched-up England missing pace trio Jofra Archer, Brydon Carse and Jamie Overton due to niggles toiled in sweltering conditions.

While Duckett batted and made an enterprising 34 off 22 balls as England were all out for 214 in 34.2 overs to lose by 142 runs, the sight of the opener limping badly may be more of a worry.
