‘Probably one of the best…’: Rohit doffs hat to Pope's magnificent ton
Ollie Pope and Tom Hartley scripted a remarkable turnaround and set up England's thrilling 28-run victory against India in the opening test at RGI Stadium on Sunday. India had looked to be in the box seat after taking a lead of 190 but Pope's epic 196 resuscitated England, who posted 420 all out in their second innings to roar back into the contest. That left the hosts needing 231 to win the match but Hartley's 7-62 in his debut test wrecked India, who were all out for 202 in an extended final session on the penultimate day.
