Ollie Pope led the way with 121 as England moved into a dominant position on day one of the second Test against the West Indies at Trent Bridge.
A quickfire 105 stand between Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope helped England recover from the first-over loss of Zak Crawley and the home side reached the lunch break on 134-2 as the West Indies struggled to make the most of choosing to bowl first.
Joe Root and Harry Brook both fell in the afternoon session too, but the tourists were made to pay for twice dropping Pope as he went on to reach a sixth Test century and his first since a sparkling 196 which helped set up victory in the first Test against India in Hyderabad back in January.
England’s vice-captain, who made 145 on the same ground against New Zealand two years ago as well, was eventually removed five overs after tea, with skipper Ben Stokes’ first half-century of the summer helping his side on their way to reaching a first-innings total of 416 before being all out just before the scheduled close.
