He Comes In And Takes All The Pressure On You: Pope's Ton Gives 'goosebumps' To Duckett
Ben Duckett: England opener Ben Duckett lauded Ollie Pope for his unbeaten century on day two of the first Test between England and India at Headingley, admitting that he had goosebumps watching under-pressure Ollie raising his ton.
Pope came into the series against India under pressure, with doubts about his spot at No 3 after a poor record against India and Australia and not quelled by that 171 against Zimbabwe. Many were even suggesting that Jacob Bethell should replace him, especially with the Ashes coming up this winter.
Pope celebrated his ninth Test century , scoring 100 from 125 deliveries with 13 fours after inside-edging a Jasprit Bumrah in-seamer towards the leg side, as England trail India by 262 runs after reaching 209/3 in 49 overs at stumps on Day Two of the first Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series.
