Duckett was then out to a low catch. England were 19 for one, and Joe Root came in at first drop. Four runs and that wicket came from Johnson's second over.
In that game England were bowled out for 131 in 33.4 overs, having been 68 for eight at one stage. The result was a seven-wicket defeat.
A win in a low-key one-day international was never going to make up for the failed Ashes campaign in Australia 12 months earlier, which began badly.
England looked better prepared this time. Australia were without their three leading fast bowlers and were also dealing with off-field trouble linked to the sandpaper affair.
It had otherwise been a quiet week in the cricket world. The second match began with England on 17 for no wicket after four overs, Banton on 8 and Duckett on 9.
Banton timed a clip off his pads for England's first boundary and later drove Adam Zampa through the covers. England were moving at about a run a ball when Zampa came on.
At the first drinks break England were the happier side. Zampa followed with a faster, fuller ball that nearly bowled Banton, the Somerset batter, as he missed a reverse sweep.
England reached 54 for one after 10 overs, Banton 32 and Root 12. Jack Edwards and his medium pace were then brought on by Mitch Marsh, and the score moved to 56 for one.
By the end of the 16th over England were 94 for one. Banton had 43 and Root 35, and the pair had given the visitors a solid platform after the early loss of Duckett.
