3rd Test, Day 2: Brilliant Jonny Bairstow and unlikely hero Jamie Overton rescue England first innings

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.

The pair did it in some style too, with a mix of aggressive hitting and deft stroke-making as New Zealand were simply unable to slow the flow of runs. The momentum in the Test is now back with England but in the middle session of the day they were floundering. After Daryl Mitchell's third century of the series helped New Zealand to 329 just after lunch, seamer Trent Boult clean bowled England's opening three batsman as the hosts' top order wilted.

HORROR SHOWEngland captain Ben Stokes said before the Test that his side were in the "entertainment business", but their innings was initially a horror show as Boult (3-73) ripped through their top order. Alex Lees (4) fell to an unplayable Boult thunderbolt that clipped the top of his off stump after pitching on middle. Ollie Pope made five before having his off stump flattened as he played across the line and Zack Crawley (6) then had his middle stump rocked back by a Boult inswinger.
