Joe root ,a seasoned cricketer and England star cricketer speaks about Pope's maidan century and praised him with open heart Talking with Cricbuzz he said "The way that Popey has played today honestly it's an absolute masterclass on how to bat in these conditions as an overseas player, someone that's not exposed to these surfaces day in and day out and to come back off a serious injury like he had in summer and have that amount of time out of the game and then put together that... I'm speechless" "It's one of the best knocks that I've ever seen. I've seen a lot of cricket, played and batted out there in the middle with a lot of brilliant players and to witness that today was really special" His inining of unbeaten 148 * helped English team in posting 126 runs lead however four wickets are still in hand .
