The tourists were on 168-5 and led England by 137 runs when rain brought a premature halt to the day's play.

Trent Boult was on top of his game as New Zealand rattled England's top-order on Day 2 of the ongoing third Test at Headingley in Leeds. After the Kiwis were bundled out for 329 in the first innings, Trent Boult took three wickets as England slumped to 55 for six. Boult produced three world class deliveries to clean up England's top three batters -- Alex Lees, Ollie Pope and Zak Crawley. After surprising the left-handed Lees with a sharp out-swinger, Boult bamboozled right-handers Pope and Crawley with two excellent in-swinging deliveries.
The imperious Bairstow has now blasted back-to-back centuries as he finished unbeaten on 130 from 126 balls, while number eight Overton showed his genuine all-round qualities with an equally eye-catching 89 not out from only 106 deliveries. England trail the tourists' first innings score of 329 by 65 runs at Headingley, but will be delighted with their fightback after they slipped to 55 for six in their reply. It is the highest seventh-wicket partnership for England against New Zealand and Overton's score is the most by an England player on debut batting at number eight or lower.
