The afternoon session featured just one wicket-taking opportunity, Joe Root dropping a straightforward catch at first slip to reprieve Young. But two overs before tea the umpires were convinced to change the ball, and with it England’s fortunes. For the first 45 minutes after the break Broad and Anderson had it, and the crowd, completely under their control. Now Broad found his edge but the ball did not carry to James Bracey, and when Conway fell 10 balls later Taylor’s trial began. The pity was that, beyond Broad and the only marginally less impressive Anderson, England did not.
