England enjoyed a strong start to the third Test with New Zealand at Headingley.
The tourists were 65/3 at lunch after winning the toss and choosing to bat, with Tom Latham out for a duck in a superb opening over from Stuart Broad.
Jack Leach trapped Will Young (20) lbw and captain Kane Williamson edged Broad to Ben Foakes after a knock of 31 from 64 deliveries.

England vs. New Zealand updates, highlights and analysis from Day 1 of the 3rd Test at Headingley, morning session
It was bold of New Zealand to elect to bat first after they were chased down so spectacularly in the second Test. Today’s first session suggested it wasn’t the smart choice.
With James Anderson not involved, it was Broad, his fellow elder statesmen of the England attack, who delivered a brilliant start for the hosts in the Yorkshire sunshine.
EDGED AND GONE!

Five dot balls and a wicket in the opening over against the top-ranked Test side in the world was a nigh-on perfect example of the confidence with which England are playing right now.
It was also an inspiring sight for debutant Jamie Overton, who gave up 17 runs from five overs in a highly respectable morning session.
England vs. New Zealand lineups
Jamie Overton, who was preferred to twin brother Craig for a place in the side, is the only alteration to the England XI, with head coach Brendon McCullum seemingly leaving behind the rotation tactics that were employed with mixed results by predecessor Chris Silverwood.
England XI: Lees, Crawley, Pope, Root, Bairstow, Stokes (c), Foakes (w), Overton, Potts, Broad, Leach
Kane Williamson was not the only New Zealand player to contract coronavirus. Devon Conway and Michael Bracewell have undergone five-day isolation periods since the Trent Bridge Test but both are fit to play. Veteran left-arm paceman Neil Wagner replaces Jamieson.
New Zealand projected XI: Latham, Young, Williamson (c), Conway, Nicholls, Mitchell, Blundell (w), Bracewell, Southee, Wagner, Boult
