Ollie Pope and Jos Buttler make it England’s day with an unbeaten century stand: Twitter Reactions

The next Test match in Machester started with the West Indies, winning the toss and choosing to bowl once more. England had two modifications with James Anderson and Jofra Archer coming instead of Sam Curran and Zack Crawley. The traffic had one shift with Rahkeem Cornwall replacement Alzarri Joseph. With the show standing in 1-1, both teams attempted to put their finest elevens for the match. The Caribbean side moved in with an extra spinner while the hosts needed to get into a bowler since Ben Stokes was not fitting to bowl. For a change, rain didn’t play spoilsport this time and the game could start punctually.

The people get early inroads

Roach obtained Sibley LBW at the first over. After not getting his lineup right from the first few deliveries, then he bowled a peach to discount the guy in shape. Captain Joe Root was another man in. After becoming to 17 conducts he had been dismissed through an wonderful direct strike by Roston Chase. England were both 27/2 and their savior, Stokes was in the crease.

The people have the wicket they were trying to find. England’s star actress was going back to the pavilion. Burns was shortly ignored on 57 and the hosts had been lingering at 122-4.

WI had no replies to Jos Buttler and Ollie Pope

After Stokes was disregarded, the Holder-led side could have expected things to get simpler. But this wasn’t the situation. Having a 136-run venture, Ollie Pope and Jos Buttler have aided the hosts reach 258/4 in the conclusion of Day 1. In the opposite end, the wicket-keeper-batsman, who started off gradually, hastened midway to achieve 56 runs in 120 deliveries using two or three sixes. Kemar Roach was the only bowler who seemed threatening and got a few wickets at the conclusion of the day’s play. Chase disregarded Burns as Cornwall finished a fantastic grab at slips. Captain Holder too seemed off-color and couldn’t produce any opportunities for his group. Together with Shannon Gabriel is struggling together with his fitness, it’d be interesting to see what approach the Caribbean side comes out with Day two.

There’s a lot of Ian Bell in Olie Pope’s batting style. Pleasing on the eye too. #EngvWI

Been watching the 3rd Test, @OPope32 seems to have modeled his batting on @Ian_Bell. His stance and footwork looks exactly the same to me. #ENGvWI pic.twitter.com/sEvNKr1YFZ

I was thinking not half an hour ago that the irony of @windiescricket picking Cornwall is that the off spinner who takes @englandcricket wickets for a passtime won’t bowl so much! #ENGvsWI

I had a joke about Olie Pope but The Vatican won’t allow me to tell you….

Rory Burns far too weighted in his stance ,when you are so low in your set up, as a batsman you always read the ball shorter in length than what actually is, explains his inclination to cut and pull and backfoot play #technicallyspeaking #ENGvWI pic.twitter.com/3Y1gTfkxpZ
