England’s stand-in skipper Ollie Pope finally shrugged off his dismal Decision Review System (DRS) record with a breakthrough moment on the opening morning of the fifth Test against India at Old Trafford. After 13 unsuccessful attempts as captain while fielding, Pope struck gold on his 14th review, ending a long streak of misjudged calls that had drawn scrutiny in the past.

The moment came early in India's innings when speedster Gus Atkinson, making his return to the Test side in place of the injured Jofra Archer, delivered a searing in-ducker that struck Yashasvi Jaiswal just below the knee roll. The ball appeared to nip in sharply off the seam, catching Jaiswal in front of the stumps. However, the English fielders were divided in their response. The double sound, bat or pad, left the team in two minds.
