Ollie Pope Hundred: Ollie Pope has proved to be no less than a relief for England. Ollie Pope scored a century at a time when England was almost out of the match. In the first Test against India at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, England have brought themselves back into the competition with the help of Pope’s century.
With the help of Pope’s century, England managed to take the lead. India had achieved a lead of 190 runs after its first innings. Trailing by 190 runs, England got a good start, but their wickets continued to fall and they lost 5 wickets at the score of 163.
Ollie Pope, who came to bat at number three, stood at one end and got England out of trouble. Ben Fox, who came at number seven, supported Pope for a long time and both added 112 runs (183 balls) for the sixth wicket, which gave a lot of strength to England batting in the second innings. Although Fox was out after scoring 34 runs with the help of 2 fours, Pope still remained at the crease. Pope is making full arrangements for England’s return to the match.
England made a comeback in the match?
Today is the third day of the match and the third session is going on, which is going to end shortly. Till the time of writing this news, England has lost 6 wickets. In such a situation, if England spends the whole day today and does some good batting tomorrow and gives a good target to India, then it will obviously be called England’s comeback. Now it will be interesting to see how far England’s second innings goes and how many runs India gets to target.
