3rd Test: Pope's Unbeaten Ton, Duckett's 86 Help England Reach 221/3
Ollie Pope: Stand-in skipper Ollie Pope struck a fighting unbeaten century while opener Ben Duckett slammed a half-century to help England reach 221/3 as rain and bad light played spoilsport on the first day of the third Test against Sri Lanka at The Oval here on Friday.
Pope was batting on 103 while Duckett hammered a 79-ball 86 as England recovered from an early blow to reach a good position when play was finally stopped by bad light with only half of the day's quota of overs being bowled.
With England leading 2-0 in the three-match series, Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to field first in the third Test. The visitors struck an early blow when Lahiru Kumara sent back Dan Lawrence for five, playing a jab across the line to a delivery bowled outside off-stump. Pathum Nissanka grabbed the top edge in gully as the hosts slumped to 45/1.
