ENG vs NZ, 3rd Test, Day 3 Live Updates: Jonny Bairstow and Jamie Overton will look to continue from where they left on Day 2 against New Zealand in the ongoing third Test at Headingley in Leeds. The hosts will resume play on Day 3 from their overnight score of 264 for six, and were trailing the visitors by 65 runs. Bairstow was batting unbeaten on 130, while Overton (89 not out) will look to score his first Test ton. Earlier, England were reeling at 55 for six before Bairstow and Overton steadied the ship. Earlier, Daryl Mitchell scored his third century of the series as New Zealand went on to post a total of 329. (LIVE SCORECARD)

A special partnership between Bairstow and Overton has rescued England. From a position where avoiding the follow-on was a doubt, they now have a chance to take the lead. They trail is just over 60 and if the two continue to play like they did on Day 2, they’ll knock it off in no time. New Zealand on the other hand, will know a wicket early can change things. An important first session awaits…

Hello and a warm welcome to Day 3 of the third Test match between England and New Zeland. We saw 11 wickets fall on Day 2 only to spice things up for the moving day. England have somehow managed to get back in the game and would hope to continue on their merry way with the momentum on their side.
