ENG vs SL: ‘Questionable decision on a turning pitch’: Eoin Morgan on decision to leave Ollie Pope out due to bad light
Due to poor light, some overs of the third day of the ongoing second Test between England and Sri Lanka could not be played. Ollie Pope (Image Credit- Twitter X) The second Test match between England and Sri Lanka (ENG vs SL) is going on at Lord’s. The third day of the game ended yesterday on 31 August. On the third day, England set a strong target of 483 runs for Sri Lanka to win, while by the end of the day’s play, England had taken the wickets of Pathum Nissanka and Nishan Madhushka in Sri Lanka’s second innings. However, England could have bowled a few more overs in the match, but the game could not proceed due to poor light. But at this time captain Ollie Pope did not consider it necessary to put the fast bowlers on bowling again and he went to the dressing room with the team. So, on the third day of the match, due to the bounce and turn of the pitch, he could have got some overs bowled by spin bowlers, but he did not do so. On the other hand, now a big statement of former captain Eoin Morgan has come out on this decision of Ollie Pope. Morgan says that this decision of Pope on the turning pitch is suspicious. Eoin Morgan gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the end of the third day of the second Test between England and Sri Lanka, Eoin Morgan said in a discussion with Sky Sports – I think this is a questionable decision. The reason behind this is the entire last hour of the game, the reason is darkness. There is a reason why fast bowlers cannot bowl. This is dangerous for all the people involved in playing the match. I completely understand the concern about the condition of the ball, but you are talking about England’s premium fingerspinner in Shoaib Bashir who needs to bowl. The ball is moving and bouncing, I question the decision, you have runs to play. Everything is in your favour, but still you are sitting in the dressing room.
