Ollie Pope Vows Ruthless Run-Scoring as England Aim for Whitewash Against West Indies

England vice-captain Ollie Pope has promised that England's batters will adopt a "ruthless" approach as they look to complete a Test series whitewash against the West Indies. With England already securing a 2-0 lead, Pope believes the team could even aim for an extraordinary 600 runs in a day.

Following an innings victory at Lord's, England continued their dominance with a comprehensive 241-run win at Trent Bridge last week. The Nottingham victory marked a historic moment as England posted scores of over 400 in both innings for the first time in a Test match, recording totals of 416 and 425.

The third and final Test of the series is set to begin on Friday at Edgbaston. Despite having already clinched the series and reclaimed the Botham-Richards Trophy, Pope insists that England's aggressive batting style will not waver.

"There’s a real hunger - there always is a hunger - but now there's an extra bit in that batting line-up," Pope said. "We want to be as ruthless as we can as a batting unit, but still play the way we do because that's our natural game. Obviously being ruthless is being part of Test cricket as well."

England's batting lineup has demonstrated remarkable form, and Pope's confidence in their ability to score heavily is evident. The team's aggressive and high-scoring strategy has been a hallmark of their recent success, and Pope sees no reason to change the approach.

As England prepares for the final Test, fans and cricket pundits alike will be watching to see if they can maintain their dominant performance and achieve a rare series whitewash. The match at Edgbaston promises to be an exciting conclusion to the series, with England's batters ready to unleash their full potential.

With the team's morale high and their batting prowess on display, England is poised to end the series on a high note, showcasing their formidable talent and determination.

The final Test starts on Friday at Edgbaston, with England eyeing a clean sweep against the West Indies.
