Carey took every opportunity that came to him behind the stumps. Outside of that, he was barely noticed, which is not a bad thing for a gloveman. The only downside was two cheap dismissals with the bat. Surely, James Anderson and Stuart Broad return for the pink-ball Test, perhaps at the expense of Chris Woakes and Jack Leach, who was exposed.
