Kane Williamson returned to lead New Zealand in the third Test against England Headingley, Leeds on Thursday, but the Kiwis once again needed another stand from Daryl Mitchell (78 not out) and Tom Blundell (45 not out) to stay alive in the match. The visitors, having already lost the three-match series 2-0, were 225/5 at the close of play on Day 1. Stuart Broad and Jack Leach claimed two wickets each, with the spinner getting lucky with the scalp of a defiant Henry Nicholls in a bizarre manner.
