ENG vs SL: Small Fourth-Day Crowd At Lord's A Worry For England Captain Ollie Pope

By AFP News September 02, 2024 • 07:51 AM View: 920

Gus AtkinsonEngland stand-in captain Ollie Pope said he had been surprised by the meagre attendance at Lord's on Sunday as his side wrapped up a convincing series victory over Sri Lanka.

While the opening three days of the match saw the ground close to its 31,000 capacity, only some 9,000 spectators were present as England completed a 190-run win after tea on the fourth day of the second Test to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in a three-match contest.
