Olie pope

England Vice: England Vice-captain Ollie Pope, has revealed the possibility of bolstering their pace attack with an extra seamer as England prepare for the pivotal third Test against India starting on Thursday at Rajkot.

With the series delicately balanced at 1-1, every decision holds the weight of destiny. The Rajkot pitch, adorned with a verdant carpet, whispered secrets of a contest tilted towards seam mastery.

Mark Wood with his left leg strapped but determined unyielding, epitomized England's resolve as he honed his skills in the nets. Ollie Robinson, with sweat glistening like pearls of determination on his brow, stood ready as another option in the quest for victory.
