Ollie Pope was unbeaten on 67 at tea with England still trailing by 18 runs and struggling against a persistent Indian bowling attack in the opening Test on Saturday.<\/p>\n
England were 172-5 at the break in Hyderabad after beginning the second innings behind by 190 after the hosts were bowled out for a mammoth 436 in the morning session.<\/p>\n
Pope was batting alongside wicketkeeper Ben Foakes (2) after brief and disappointing spells from Joe Root (2) and skipper Ben Stokes (6).<\/p>\n
Jasprit Bumrah and spinner Ravichandran Ashwin picked two wickets each.<\/p>\n
Zak Crawley fell to Ashwin\u2019s off-spin early but England raced to 89-1 at lunch after Ben Duckett defied the Indian attack with back-and-forth sweeps to keep the scoring rate above five per over.<\/p>\n
Bumrah bowled a sensational spell after lunch to get Duckett bowled for 47, soon after the batsman survived an lbw call that would have likely been upheld if reviewed.<\/p>\n
He then got veteran batsman Joe Root lbw for two to raise the volume of a raucous weekend crowd.<\/p>\n
Ravindra Jadeja bowled Jonny Bairstow for 10 and Ashwin got his second after bowling Stokes.<\/p>\n
India resumed the day on 421-7 in response to England\u2019s first innings total of 246 and overnighters Jadeja and Axar Patel started cautiously, with just six runs scored in the first half-hour.<\/p>\n
Root, who returned figures of 4-79, got Jadeja out and bowled Bumrah on the next ball but Mohammed Siraj avoided the hat-trick.<\/p>\n
Leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed cleaned up Axar on 44 to end the innings inside the first hour.<\/p>\n
Spinner Jack Leach, who injured his knee while fielding on day one and again on day two, took the field heavily bandaged and bowled just one over in the morning.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
