Leeds: England vice -captain Pope made a brilliant start in the first Test played against India in Hyderabad last year. But after this, Jasprit Bumrah and the Indian spinner did not take long to disclose their weakness. He was able to score only 40 runs in the next four matches, due to which there was a discussion about his place in the team.

The Pope, who scored 106 runs in the first Test match against India here, told reporters after the third day’s play was over, ‘I have tried not to affect these discussions.’

I did not pay attention to external discussions

He said, ‘I am just trying to make sure that my game is as much as possible and when I get into the field for batting, try to take full advantage of the opportunity. I did not pay attention to the discussions happening outside and focused on strengthening myself mentally and improving my game.

Don’t hurry to score runs

Oli Pope said, ‘This is an attempt to make your game a little better. This is associated with the process, which I want to move forward with full pleasure. I do not want to show any hasty to score runs. It is my endeavor that my defense should be as good as possible.

I enjoyed this innings
Regarding his century innings, the Pope said, ‘It was definitely (an innings) that I really enjoyed. I am very happy with the way I was playing and I am also happy with the level of my game.
