Only Ben Stokes provided an oasis of effective batting in an England innings which yet again fell well short of requirements.
They lost four wickets for 15 to stumble to 23 for five - and hard as Stokes battled, in stands of 39 with debutant Gary Ballance and 49 with Jonny Bairstow, it seemed England's miserable campaign was accelerating towards an apt conclusion.
