Graeme Swann criticised Ollie Pope for “an awful dismissal” as England’s No 3 was out cheaply again and Australia tightened their grip on the Ashes urn.
Pope came to the crease with England on 37-1 needing to revive his own Test career as well as give the tourists a boost in their pursuit of Australia’s first innings total of 371. But he was soon walking back to the pavilion at the Adelaide Oval. Australia captain Pat Cummins turned to his spinner, Nathan Lyon, who quickly removed Pope for three runs from 10 balls.
