England were rewarded for getting funky in the dirt as their Jacks of all trades delivered with a few twists and turns to come.
And as strange as it may sound when the opposition has scored three hundreds led by Babar Azam’s 8th and come within a single of 500, Joe Root didn’t sound crazy when he called it a ‘brilliant day’ thanks to the seven wickets England’s bowlers took.
It included three for debutant Will Jacks, two more for Jack Leach, and one apiece for Ollie Robinson and James Anderson who finally opened his wicket taking account in his ninth country in a final session that saw four wickets fall for 88 runs.
