He said (via ESPNcricinfo):"It's a long series, and there's a lot to be done in this game still as well. [A deficit of] 40 or 50, just from a mindset, might have given them a little bit more confidence, knowing that they've got that head-start, but playing the game from an even playing field felt quite important. We got those two wickets; they played nicely. KL Rahul batted really well.""It's important for us to get some early breakthroughs. It obviously would've been nice to get maybe one or two more wickets this evening, but I think the pitch is still playing really well. It's obviously such a quick-scoring ground, with the lightning [fast] outfield. It's obviously an important session tomorrow morning, and the game is poised in a pretty nice position," Pope continued.Which team has the upper hand after three days in the Headingley Test?
