HYDERABAD, India (Reuters) - England vice-captain Ollie Pope's batting masterclass in the opening test in Hyderabad has jolted India into a rethink of their plans ahead of the second test in Visakhapatnam this week.
The hosts suffered only their fourth defeat in a home test in the last decade after Pope smashed 196 in arguably the best knock by a touring batter in India.
