England take on New Zealand on the first day of the third Test at Headingley, with the series already decided after England's win at Lord's. The match began under cloudy skies, with New Zealand winning the toss and electing to bat first.
New Zealand innings underway
New Zealand openers Tom Latham and Devon Conway walked out to the middle, facing England's pace attack led by James Anderson. Anderson, playing his final Test, received a guard of honour from the New Zealand team as he walked out onto the field.
England captain Ben Stokes opted to field first, hoping to exploit the overcast conditions. The pitch at Headingley is expected to offer assistance to seam bowlers early on.
Early wickets for England
England struck early, with Anderson dismissing Latham for 12 runs, caught by Zak Crawley at slip. The crowd rose to applaud Anderson, who is retiring after this match. Conway was then caught behind off the bowling of Stuart Broad for 8, leaving New Zealand at 25 for 2.
Kane Williamson and Henry Nicholls steadied the innings, putting on a 50-run partnership. Williamson looked in good touch, driving elegantly through the covers.
Anderson's farewell
James Anderson is playing his 188th and final Test match. He has taken 700 wickets in his career, the most by any fast bowler. The crowd at Headingley gave him a standing ovation when he came out to bat later in the day.
At tea, New Zealand were 112 for 2, with Williamson on 45 and Nicholls on 32. England's bowlers toiled hard, but the pitch eased out as the day progressed.
England's response
After bowling New Zealand out for 256 in the final session, England began their innings. Openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley put on a brisk 50-run partnership before Duckett was dismissed for 28. Crawley continued to score freely, reaching his half-century off 68 balls.
At stumps, England were 87 for 1, trailing by 169 runs. Crawley was unbeaten on 53, with Ollie Pope on 12. The match is finely poised heading into day two.
