England beat Sri Lanka, England won by 190 runs
Ollie Pope: “Really happy to get to 2-0 up, some special performances and good contributions. This week was very different to last in terms of modes of dismissal. Had to get creative and find different catching positions, Rooty gave us a big lead, so could get funky in the field. Reviews aren’t quite going my way but I’d rather use them! Massive contributions from Gus and Potts, an extra 120 runs gives you a really good position, those runs are a bonus down the order. [Follow-on] we knew the pitch was getting worse, but more important to give bowlers time off their feet. [Bad light] we gave the spin a crack, but we knew how important the new ball was, they get pretty soft after 30 overs. Oval next week, always a special Test, a few Surrey boys in the changing room. Should be a great week.”
