England openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett piled on the runs on the second morning of the Ashes warm-up against England Lions in Perth.
The pair moved England to 169-0 from only 27 overs in reply to the Lions’ 382 all out.
On a run-filled, docile pitch at Lilac Hill, left-hander Duckett reached 83 from 82 balls and Crawley 71 from 87.
Duckett came through a number of alarms early in his innings, all off new-ball bowler Matthew Potts, who is in the Ashes squad but playing for the Lions.
On six, Duckett edged between Ben McKinney at first slip and Jacob Bethell at second, a catch McKinney should have taken. Duckett also slashed Potts through the cordon on 18 and 24.
Duckett could also have been run out on 55, but Will Jacks’ throw from the covers missed the stumps at the striker’s end.
Shoaib Bashir, England’s first-choice Ashes spinner, looked rusty in two overs that cost 11 runs. Fellow off-spinner Jacks, also in the Ashes squad, bowled one over that went for six.
Mark Wood is at the ground and will have a scan on a tight later on Friday, while fellow fast bowler Brydon Carse has recovered from the illness that prevented him from taking part on Thursday.
