1st Test: Duckett-Pope Century Stand Takes England To 107/1, Trail India By 364 Runs
After India lost their last seven wickets for just 41 runs to be bowled out for 471 in 113 overs, with Josh Tongue picking 4-86, Bumrah dismissed Crawley with a jaffa of a delivery. But Duckett, who hit 53 not out, and Pope, unbeaten on 48, were at immaculate ease with their shots to ensure England had a run rate of 4.46. It also helped the duo that India’s bowling wasn’t that penetrative once Bumrah was taken off.
In the opening over, with dark clouds looming around, Bumrah was on the money from the word go and was rewarded with Zak Crawley’s scalp. He got the ball to be straight, before getting it to move away at the last moment to induce an edge from Crawley and have him caught brilliantly by first slip. But after that, England began to build their innings as Pope and Duckett took two fours each off Mohammed Siraj, who released pressure built by Bumrah.
