1st Test: Ollie Pope Bowled For A Magnificent 196 As England Set India Target Of 231 Runs
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Ollie Pope’s magnificent knock came to an end on 196 as England have now set India a target of 231 runs after folding their second innings at 420 in 102.1 overs on day four of the first Test at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday.
England were in trouble at 163/5 and Pope, the vice-captain, stepped in to play one of the greatest innings by any batter from his country in Test matches in India. He used the sweep to a very good effect, dismantling the Indian spinners in an attacking fashion to his 21 boundaries in his 278-ball vigil at the crease.
He also stitched three crucial partnerships of 112, 64 and 80 with Ben Foakes, Rehan Ahmed and Tom Hartley respectively. Due to Pope, England ensured the Indian spirits remained low in the morning session on day four as they added 104 runs, giving themselves a chance of pulling off an unlikely win.
