England Vs West Indies 3rd Test

Pope and Jos Buttler

England staged a remarkable comeback in the last session of the day courtesy an unbeaten 136-run partnership between Ollie Pope and Jos Buttler. Pope came out all guns blazing making an unbeaten 91 off 142 balls with the help of 11 boundaries to lead England fightback. While Buttler also found the much-needed form and played second fiddle to Pope . The wicket-keeper batsman was not out on 56 and hammered five fours and two sixes in his 120 balls knock.
