Sublime wristwork from Ollie Pope impels England to 350

Openers Zak Crawley (122 off 111) and Ben Duckett (107 off 110) stitched together a 233-run alliance, laying the ground for England’s imposing 332/3 at Tea on the opening day of the Rawalpindi Test. While Pakistan did manage to claw back into the contest with the wickets of the top-three eventually, England were still able to add 158 runs to their total to win the honors in a second successive session in the game. Pakistan’s problems, however, are far from over as Ollie Pope seems to be finding his feet at the crease.
