NOTTINGHAM, England: Ollie Pope scored a superb 142 not out and Joe Root struck his fastest test ton as England advanced to 331-2 at tea on the third day of the second test against New Zealand on Sunday .
Pope, dropped early in his innings, looked in sublime form with former captain Root unbeaten on 109, after opener Alex Lees fell for 67. Root, whose unbeaten 115 guided England to a five-wicket win in the opening test, endured nervy moments and was lucky to survive after flashing at a ball from Southee who also dropped him in the slip cordon.
A reverse sweep off Michael Bracewell took Root to 97 before an inside edge for four completed his 27th test ton and fourth at this venue, with the knock coming off only 116 balls.
