What happened: Ollie Pope was dismissed for 26 runs after being caught and bowled by Michael Neser during day three of the second Ashes Test in Brisbane. England's score reached 90-2 at that point.

Why it matters:

  • England lost a key batsman early in their innings, affecting their chances of building a strong total.
