Dravid on Ollie Pope: “I haven’t seen a better exhibition of sweeping and reverse sweeping in these conditions against that quality of bowling”
Also calls Pope’s 196 “the greatest innings ever in the subcontinent by an English batsman”
“When you are put against a wall, you need to show character and you need to be brave enough, which I thought we weren’t”
After England conceded a first-innings lead of 190, Ollie Pope led the turnaround, scoring 196 runs full of sweeps, reverse sweeps
“I had lost the habit of scoring hundreds. I now know how to hundreds. A big one is around the corner this season.”
India’s bowling coach Paras Mhambrey credited England for being brave but doesn’t believe the hosts have fallen behind
Scores 148* as visitors turn first-innings deficit of 190 into a lead of 126 with four wickets in hand
“Of course, it would have been amazing. But what took me there was my thinking and my process to score runs”
India are already 175 ahead by the end of the second day, with Jadeja and Axar in the mood to add the tally
Zimbabwe and Ireland, meanwhile, slump to their second successive defeats
