Speaking to Sky Sports, Mike Atherton said: ‘The way he dismissed Ally Pope in the second innings, this is my game ball. People are saying he’s a straight ball, but that’s the problem. That’s an under-cutter ball. ‘He said,’ Oli Pope saw a lack of form and a lack of flow. Returning to the 400-wicket stand, Ashwin is not easy. It’s a tough test on a tough pitch. ‘
