Having been under the pump for the first two days, England showcased spark and spunk in equal measure to make the moving day of the first Test their own at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium.
Ollie’s fifth Test century
Ollie Pope led their fightback with a stirring fifth century that drove India to frustration, overturning a 190-run deficit into a 126-run advantage at close on Saturday, which the visitors reached on an impressive 316 for six. While the lead isn’t decisive on a pitch that has gotten progressively slower, England will believe they have enough to fight with if they can extend it by another 75 runs.
