• Ashwin takes four wickets including Buttler for a duck
Another moment of Yorkshire disharmony undermined England at Edgbaston, an innocent mistake that suddenly undermined a day, which seemed to be sailing along serenely.
Jonny Bairstow summoned Joe Root for an ambitious second run and England’s captain was left sprawling in the turf and staring at umpire Dar’s upraised finger. From the tranquillity of 216 for three the hosts slumped to 285 for nine, which means England have another Test struggle on their hands.
