The Game Is Poised in a Pretty Nice Position - England Batter Ollie Pope

After stumps on Day 3 of the first Test, batter Ollie Pope shared his thoughts on the match situation. The England vice-captain said that the game is evenly poised.

Pope added that cutting the deficit to just six runs was mentally important for England. He added that had India gained a lead of 40 or 50, it might have given them added momentum.

"It's a long series, and there's a lot to be done in this game still as well. [A deficit of] 40 or 50, just from a mindset, might have given them a little bit more confidence, knowing that they've got that head-start, but playing the game from an even playing field felt quite important. We got those two wickets; they played nicely. KL Rahul batted really well," Pope said (via ESPNcricinfo).
