The tourists' skipper was looking for a reaction to the mauling at Lord's. But, after winning the toss, he inexplicably asked England to bat. Under a clear blue sky, Pope and his colleagues cashed in to pass the 400 mark.
They benefitted from Brathwaite's dubious decision plus a string of dropped catches, misfields and a missed stumping that helped Ben Stokes' men build a strong platform.
