He was finally bowled for 47 trying to slog spinner Cullen Bailey. | |
Mahmood was swiping vigorously but was stumped after wandering down the wicket and missing a swing at one of Darren Lehmann's slow, left-arm teasers. | |
England's first innings was ended just before lunch when James Anderson swept a Bailey leg-break onto his right boot, with wicketkeeper Shane Deitz doing well to catch the ricochet. | |
Elliott and Harris thwarted England until Anderson's high, one-handed catch sent Elliott back to the pavilion. |
