England are 113 runs away from completing a series whitewash against New Zealand after the hosts put themselves in a commanding position with eight wickets in hand in the final innings of the third Test on Sunday.
Chasing 296 for victory, Ollie Pope and Joe Root were at the crease at stumps after the pair made light work of a competitive target as England finished day four on 183-2. The pair set up what promises to be an intriguing final day, with Headingley hopeful of having a packed house as they look to replicate the Trent Bridge Test's atmosphere by offering free tickets. England lost Alex Lees to a run-out after a mix-up in the fifth over while his opening partner Zak Crawley (25) was caught in the covers off Michael Bracewell, with skipper Kane Williamson involved in both dismissals.
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.
