The hundred stand occupied 165 balls, while Banton clipped Adam Finch to fine leg to register his career-best first-class score, eclipsing the 133 he made against Kent at Taunton 11 months earlier.

Iyer, having already been dropped, flicked to short fine leg and Axar tamely punted to long-on to give Santner and Bracewell a further wicket each.

Shreyas Iyer swooped to collect at short fine leg and hit direct as Carey, who had timed the ball as well as anyone in striking eight fours and a six, returned for the second.

He could only laugh at his misfortune when he managed to toe-end a Axar's long hop to short fine leg.

His three wickets all came from top edges off short balls, as Varma and Suryakumar Yadav skied balls to keeper Salt and Dube found Rashid at fine leg.
