Jack Leach and Saqib Mahmood produced a remarkable rescue job as they shared a 90-run last-wicket partnership to push England up to a first-innings total of 204 after collapsing to 114-9.
After getting put in to bat by the hosts, England lost two early wickets to the medium pace of Kyle Mayers when Zak Crawley and captain Joe Root both fell cheaply. Crawley chipped a catch to short extra cover for seven and Root was promptly removed in Mayers' next over for a duck, getting caught behind by Joshua Da Silva.
Dan Lawrence then became the third England wicket to fall in the morning session when the impressive Jayden Seales pinned him lbw for just eight. After Alex Lees and Ben Stokes saw England through to lunch on 46-3, the visitors suffered an all-too familiar collapse after the break.
