England will hope to send a signal of intent to the cricket world when they face New Zealand in the third and final Test match of the series at Headingley this week.

Captain Ben Stokes has led his side to two victories from two outings after a pair of pulsating, rollercoasters matches, featuring a masterclass 136 off 92 balls from Jonny Bairstow to win the second Test.

However, England are without Jimmy Anderson due to an ankle issue, meaning Jamie Overton will make his debut in his place. Stokes himself was suffering with illness and missed training this week, but appears fit to play.

New Zealand welcome captain Kane Williamson back into the fold after recovering from COVID.

The Oceanic side had lost just three of their last 18 Test matches before arriving on British soil. They will hope to land a parting shot on countryman Brendon McCullum, whose debut Test series as the new England coach has gone well so far.
