Gill was finally out pulling Tongue to square leg but, with Brydon Carse struggling with an apparent foot injury and neither Stokes nor Woakes seen with the ball after their first spells, Shoaib Bashir was left to take the final two wickets – Deep caught on the long-on boundary and Prasidh Krishna stumped.

Gill's innings contained just two outside edges off Chris Woakes - both before he had reached 20 - and an inside edge to Brydon Carse that thwarted an England lbw review.

Their patience in the field in the afternoon was impressive while Woakes and Carse threatened throughout.

Chris Woakes bowled KL Rahul off the inside edge in a fine new-ball spell and Brydon Carse found extra bounce to have Karun Nair caught at slip for 31 shortly before lunch.

The likes of Carse, Archer or Gus Atkinson could do it too.
