Eoin Morgan led a spirited recovery with a maiden Test century as England closed on 331-4 on day one at Trent Bridge.
Mohammad Aamer took three wickets as England slipped to 118-4 before Morgan joined Paul Collingwood to steer the hosts to close of play without further loss.
“To score my first Test hundred in my third game is a great achievement,” said Morgan.
“It was absolutely huge, a massive moment for me. I think I have answered some questions and I never doubted my ability to play Test cricket.”
