LIVE IND vs ENG 1st Test: Pope wins POTM award

Ollie Pope | Player of the Match: 100 percent (best knock). Coming here to India, toughest place for a batter, to start the series like this, heads and shoulders above the other four (hundreds). I got lucky there in the second innings. I played and missed a few. I was focused on covering the inside edge. I maintained that mindset and wanted to be positive with my sweep and reverse sweep. I have changed my technique slightly for this series. I have had a long time to prepare for this series. Made some adjustments, worked hard on my game. The family have had early starts throughout the game, they can finally get some sleep, will be nice catching up.

England were on top of their game on Day 4 of the first Test against India as they defeated the hosts by 28 runs. First Pope did the magic with the bat and then Tom Hartley ripped the Indian batting lineup apart in Hyderabad.

LIVE India vs England Score: Crawley after Day 3

 

Zak Crawley: We're happy, unbelievable knock by Ollie. Few more runs in the morning it could be a tricky chase. (Talk before the start of the innings) Bat like the first innings, the batters did that really well, very pleased. (On getting out to Ashwin twice) He bowled a nice ball today, he's allowed to do that. nothing changes for me. We can learn a lot from Ollie. It was something we have grown up with (playing sweeps and reverse-sweeps), it's a nice way to put them off their lengths. We would have taken this for sure, another 45-50 runs, it could be a tricky chase for them, (On Rehan Ahmed) He's an amazing talent, he's very confident as well, hopefully he can get some runs in the morning.
