The final match of the 3 Test match series ENG vs NZ will begin at Headingly, Leeds and Kiwis will leave no stone unturned to avoid from getting whitewashed. The way home team pulled back the game at Nottingham was quiet disappointing for the visitors. Kiwis were shocked by the Stokes and company on the final day of the test.
Since their win at World Test Championship last year, New Zealand have not tasted much success in the test, and they are completely looking out of form in the longest format of the game.
Newly appointed captain, Ben Stokes is having a great time as his side have beaten visitors in both the games he has led. He will be definitely aiming for a 3-0 whitewash to make his captaincy career memorable.
Alex Lees played well at top of the order and England would be hoping that his partner Zak Crawley to have good time with the bat in the final game of the series. The presence of Ollie Pope and Joe Root makes middle order formidable. After a sensational hundred down the order, Jonny Bairstow has cemented his place in the team. He will be well supported by skipper, Ben Stokes, Ben Foakes.
It is clear that Jamie Overton is set to debut at Headingley. Matty Potts and Jack Leach did well in the second innings of the game, and this should boost their confidence.
Kane Williamson will be leading his side and will hope that his side would enter the field with a motivation to save the test and their pride. Tom Latham and Will Young will have to put a great effort to provide a good start at Headingley. Williamson’s return is a big positive for the Kiwis and he will have the responsibility to lead his team so that they can set up a good total in case they get the chance to bat first.
The trio of Devon Conway, Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell forms a reliable middle order for the Kiwis and will need to step up in a pride saving game.
The last game visitors lost was due to their poor bowling show. Trent Boult stood as a lone warrior in bowling department. However, he will need to support from Tim Southee, Kyle Jamieson, Matt Henry with the new ball.
