When nightwatchman Jack Leach then fell to a bat pad, a grim day for England was at least over. If it was Santner’s day then this has been Watling’s match. The bespectacled England left-hander who earned cult status during the Ashes was suddenly being taken down by one of his own. And then there was Sam Curran, slightly manhandled by Santner at times and wicketless since his day two removal of Williamson. But away from home, like this England side as a whole, he remains a distinct work in progress.
