“It was good fun to bowl today,” said 28-year-old Gunn, who broke an opening stand of 40 in the first over of a 12-over spell.
“I didn’t want [captain] Charlotte [Edwards] to take the ball out of my hand.
“The key was bowling a bit fuller and pitching it up. With Sarah Taylor standing up to the stumps, she took two great catches.”
This Test is England’s first match since they became full-time professionals in May by giving central contracts to 18 players.
