Ben Duckett admitted that he had “goosebumps” looking at Ollie Pope score a century on the second day of the first test between England and India in Headingley.

The pope entered the series against India under pressure in his place n ° 3, with many calling Jacob Bethell to take his place with an eye on the ashes this winter.

However, the Pope answered questions with a provocative sleevesMarking 100 from 125 deliveries with 13 ovens, hitting the air through tight teeth while cutting an inner edge to take it three -digit.

His sleeves, which remain intact before a third day pivot, were crucial in England which dates back to the competition after taking only three counters on the first day, but they still drag India by 262 points having reached a little perplexed on Saturday at 209-3.

For the opening of England Duckett, it is another display which proves that Pope can be a “winner of the match” for his side and he was delighted to see his teammate obtaining such a special moment in front of the Headingley crowd after so much external noise.

“I had goosebumps for him,” said Duckett Sky Sports.

“He’s such a good guy and I love to strike with him – I’m sure Crawley would say the same thing.

“You go one and he enters and takes all the pressure on you and marks quickly.

“It is such a legend and such a large part of this team.

“We know that there is noise outside the locker room to go and score 171, so 100 is something else.

“If he enters, he gets hundreds and someone like him at 3 against India, it’s obvious.

“Popey marking the hundreds and he also did it when we won – he is winner of the match.

“It’s an excellent start to the series for him.”

Bumrah “cut above the others” as he again shows the power of the stars

The only thorn in the side of England so far in their first rounds has been launcher n ° 1 in the world Jasprit Bumrah, which ended the day on shiny figures of 3-48.

A peer of a delivery made Zak Crawley walk in the first before sending Duckett (62) on his way. Then the crucial counter came just before the end of the day when he rejected Joe Root (28) for the 10th time of the test cricket.

Bumrah then thought that he had done four counters in the final during the day to send to Harry Brook (0no) walking for a duck, but he was struck for a bullet, a late reminder of the Angleterre will be confronted in the morning.

For Sky Sports Cricket’s Nasser Hussain was the latest example of how Bumrah is a cup over the rest of the Bowling attack from India.

“With his Orthodox, they could have had more counters if they had captured it well,” said Hussain.

“It will be a concern for India the decline compared to the time when Bumrah Bowling to the rest.

“But it’s a small sample size, the others will enter the series.

“Root was the big window – he was a poor court of Joe Root.

“You could say to Root moving away from the door to open the door.

“If they had obtained the stream to make the two Yorkies at the end, it would have been the elevator of the locker room necessary with regard to India.”
