MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - England batsmen Ollie Pope said he was relieved to be nearing a century in the third and deciding test against the West Indies after failing with the bat earlier in the series.
Pope scored an unbeaten 91 on the opening day at Old Trafford on Friday, which was more than double the 43 runs he had amassed over four innings during the first two tests of the series.
