Pope makes warm-up ton but Root and Brook miss out

Ollie Pope shines with a century as England's top order bats in Ashes warm-up, with Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley impressing in an opening partnership. Joe Root and Harry Brook's struggles raise concerns, as Root fails to make an impact before the first Test. Ben Stokes returns with patience, scoring 84 after time out due to a shoulder injury, in a competitive fixture against the Lions ahead of the Ashes series.
