LEEDS, England :Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell again proved thorns in England's side as they helped New Zealand recover from a freakish stroke of misfortune to end the first day of the third and final test on 225 for five on Thursday.
England enjoyed an excellent morning session on Day 1 of the ongoing third Test against New Zealand at Headingley in Leeds on Thursday. Trailing the series 2-0, New Zealand opted to bat after winning the toss, hoping for a good start. However, veteran pacer Stuart Broad landed the first blow in the very first over of the match, dismissing New Zealand opener and vice-captain Tom Latham on the last delivery. The veteran pacer then added another wicket to his tally, after Jack Leach had got the better of the other Kiwi opener, Will Young.
Stuart Broad’s double strike and a freak dismissal on the stroke of tea put England in a strong position on day one of the Headingley Test, with New Zealand struggling on 123 for five.

Though India were off to a poor start in the warm-up game against Leicestershire on Thursday, one positive sign was the batting of former captain Virat Kohli. He batted with confidence and looked poised for a big score. Apart from his confident stroke-play, there was another point in Kohli's innings that went viral on social media. On Day 1, the 34-year-old Kohli was seen trying to balance the bat upright without any support. It was reminiscent of what ex-England captain Joe Root had done during a recent Test match against New Zealand.

Travis Head will miss Australia's last one-day international against Sri Lanka while Steve Smith is also doubtful, skipper Aaron Finch said Thursday on the eve of the dead-rubber match. Head hurt his hamstring on Tuesday when Sri Lanka took an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series in Colombo, adding to a long list of injuries for the visitors. Smith missed the game with a quad problem and Australia were also without Marcus Stoinis, Kane Richardson, Mitchell Starc and Ashton Agar.
