England batter Ollie Pope slammed his maiden double hundred off 207 balls against Ireland on Day 2 of their only Test at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London on Friday. Pope reached the mark with a six and fell off the next delivery on 205 off 208 deliveries with 22 fours and three sixes. Pope’s double hundred was the second-fastest by an England batter behind captain Ben Stokes’ 163-ball double century against South Africa in 2016.
