"I want to make it clear that I'm not racist and I'm not sexist." The only real variety came when England captain Joe Root bowled his occasional off-breaks.

But James Anderson, equalling retired former captain Alastair Cook's England record of 161 Test appearances, struck in the first over after the interval when Williamson played on for 13.
