Even if he doesn\u2019t play all five matches, the games he does feature in could be pivotal, a fact well known to England\u2019s batting lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One batter who has historically struggled against Jasprit Bumrah but will face the tough challenge of opening against him at number 3 is Ollie Pope, confirmed for that spot in the first Test at Headingley. Bumrah has dismissed Pope five times in Test cricket, with Pope averaging under 19 against him from 186 runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking to <em>The Times<\/em> about the technical adjustments he\u2019s considering to counter Bumrah, Pope highlighted the need for an earlier trigger to handle Jasprit Bumrah\u2019s awkward release and pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/e2bangladesh.com\/index.php\/2025\/06\/17\/who-was-dirdh-patel\/\">Maybe getting my trigger in a bit earlier just to give myself a bit more time. He\u2019s one of those bowlers that, with his action and where he releases it from, doesn\u2019t necessarily clock the high speeds that some of the guys clock, but it certainly feels like it\u2019s that bit quicker<\/a>,\u201d explained England\u2019s vice-captain. \u201cWith the skills he\u2019s got as well, it\u2019s being aware of that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-bowler-in-the-world\">\u2018Best bowler in the world\u2026\u2019<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"359\" src=\"https:\/\/e2bangladesh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-33.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10168\" style=\"width:750px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e2bangladesh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-33.png 640w, https:\/\/e2bangladesh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-33-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ollie Pope\u2019s struggles against Jasprit Bumrah have included some memorable dismissals, like the perfectly executed yorker that uprooted both batter and stumps. Aware of Bumrah\u2019s all-round bowling threat from multiple series encounters, Pope has been keen to adapt his approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think I\u2019ve played him in probably three different series now, and you\u2019re constantly trying to find ways to put him under some pressure. I mean, he can bowl 20 overs in a day \u2014 that\u2019s a lot. So, the way we talk about cricket is, you want to absorb pressure when needed, and then, if necessary, try to put a guy under a little bit of pressure,\u201d Pope told <em>TalkSport<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/e2bangladesh.com\/index.php\/2025\/06\/18\/jasprit-bumrah-%e0%a6%ad%e0%a6%be%e0%a6%b0%e0%a6%a4%e0%a7%87%e0%a6%b0-%e0%a6%9f%e0%a7%87%e0%a6%b8%e0%a7%8d%e0%a6%9f\/\">While Bumrah is expected to be rested at times during the series, he is likely to feature in the opening Test in Leeds. For Pope, the key to facing Bumrah lies in finding ways to score off him without taking undue risks.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat doesn\u2019t mean trying to smash him to the boundary. It could just be rotating strike. If he\u2019s bowling a good spell, I\u2019m thinking, \u2018Right, how can I rotate and get to the other end?\u2019 And my partner\u2019s thinking the same, so he [Bumrah] doesn\u2019t get six balls at you in a row and use all his skills. He\u2019s a highly skilled bowler, one of the best in the world, if not the best,\u201d Pope concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
