3rd Test: Root And Pope Stitch An Unbroken Century Stand, Help England Reach 153/2
Nitish Kumar Reddy: Joe Root hit his second fifty of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series while stitching a patient unbroken 109-run stand with Ollie Pope as the duo helped England reach 153/2 in 49 overs against India at tea on day one of the third Test at the Lord’s here on Thursday.
It was a session of attritional Test cricket, where Root (54 not out) and Pope (44 not out) were made to work hard by India’s bowlers, who maintained tight lines and were disciplined in their efforts. But whenever India overpitched a wee bit, the duo latched on to it to get runs.
India also had an injury scare when Rishabh Pant left the field after suffering a left finger injury when attempting to stop a leg-side delivery, and Dhruv Jurel took up the keeping gloves. A latest update from broadcasters Sky Sports said there is no serious concern at this stage about Pant, as he apparently chipped the nail on his index finger and is currently icing it.
