England v New Zealand: an unmissable series
LAYTH YOUSIF is savouring his delight after witnessing two Test victories earlier in the week, and hopes England’s fine form will continue at Headingley in the third and final Test
England's Jonny Bairstow (centre) celebrates his century after getting 102 runs from 77 balls during day five of the Second LV= Insurance Test Series match at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.

NEXT week, Test cricket lovers have one final chance to savour a series that has enthralled and delighted in equal measure. 

England host New Zealand at Headingley in the third and final Test of this unmissable series.

The game comes after the Brave New World of captain Ben Stokes and head coach Brendan McCullum — aided by Jonny Bairstow’s remarkable quick-fire 136 off only 92 balls — led the home side to a second successive Test victory over a fine Kiwi team on Tuesday.
