England dominated for the majority of the opening day of the third Test at Headingley against New Zealand before Daryl Mitchell led a fightback for the tourists.
The second session saw one of the most bizarre dismissals in Test history, with Henry Nicholls caught after his shot ricocheted off Daryl Mitchell's bat and into the hands of Alex Lees.

Jamie Overton, who was presented with his cap by twin brother Craig, became England's seventh Test debutant of 2022. Not since 2003, when Jimmy Anderson - the man Overton replaced in the XI - was one of 10 newcomers have England blooded more players in a calendar year.
Overton's maiden international wicket - that of Devon Conway - came 3222 days after the 28-year-old was first selected in a full England squad.
