The afternoon proved far less successful for England, however, with debutant spinner Borthwick (1-49) given a harsh introduction to test cricket, with his three overs going for 21 runs before he was taken out of the attack.
Borthwick -- the first England leg spinner to play in a test match since Ian Salisbury against Pakistan in 2000 -- returned late in the day and captured Mitchell Johnson caught by substitute fielder Joe Root on the boundary for 12 for his first test wicket.
England's other debutant bowler, Rankin, fared little better when he pulled up in his ninth over clutching his right hamstring and left the field for tests. He returned in the final session but could only bowl one ball before limping off the pitch.
