Anthony McGrath and Gale did a sound job taking the score to 76-2 at lunch, but in the second over after the interval Thomas found a gap between McGrath's bat and pad to bowl him for 21.
The half hour the tourists spent in the field did at least serve to further Broad's reputation as a burgeoning talent with the bat as well as the ball, the 21-year-old crashing three fours through the covers and a six over long-on to add 31 swift runs off 26 balls.
