After conceding a 190-run first-innings lead, England turned the Hyderabad Test match on its head to reach 420 after being 163-5. Ollie Pope made 196 of these runs. For perspective, Ben Stokes’ 70 in the first innings was the only other fifty for England in the entire Test match.
Pope’s unfortunate dismissal, four short of a maiden double hundred, was the latest entry in a long list of batters who fell in the 190s in Test cricket.
