England's Duckett out for duck as Sri Lanka series reaches decider

England suffered an early setback in their decisive one-day international against Sri Lanka when opening batsman Ben Duckett fell for a duck, failing to trouble the scorers in what proved to be a brief stint at the crease.

The dismissal came at a critical juncture as England sought to make an impact in the series decider against their Sri Lankan counterparts. Duckett's lack of runs put immediate pressure on the visiting team's batting lineup, requiring their middle order to consolidate and build a competitive total.

The match carries significant importance for both sides as they vie for series supremacy. Sri Lanka's bowling attack made early inroads into England's batting, with the duck highlighting the challenges facing the tourists in what has been a keenly contested series.
