Class innings - England's Ollie Pope drives during his 91 not out against the West Indies on the first day of the third Test at Old Trafford on Friday AFP/Martin RickettMANCHESTER, United Kingdom: Ollie Pope's superb 91 not out helped England recover on the first day of the deciding third Test against the West Indies at Old Trafford on Friday .
England dropped number three batsman Zak Crawley and left-arm paceman Sam Curran following their 113-run win in the second Test, also at the Manchester ground, that squared this three-match series at 1-1, with their places taken by Jofra Archer and veteran spearhead James Anderson. The paceman tested him out with a couple of short balls and, having previously moved a couple of deliveries away from the left-handed batsman, clean bowled Stokes with one that seamed back to leave England 92-3.
