10:49am Headingley pays tribute to Yorkshire legend Harry Gration, who sadly passed away yesterday. A former Yorkshire CCC Board Member, Gration enjoyed a long career in broadcasting with the BBC and will be fondly remembered by all at Yorkshire.

9:30am Good morning from Headingley where the scene is set for another thrilling day of Test Match action.

Jonny Bairstow and Jamie Overton will return to the crease at 11 am, with the latter looking to complete a maiden hundred on Test Match debut.

Supporters in attendance on day two were treated to a remarkable day of cricket with some a five-fer for Jack Leach, some sensational swing bowling from New Zealand to reduce England to 55 for 6 before an unbeaten partnership of 209 between Bairstow and Overton. Bairstow’s hundred sparked jubilation on the field for the batter, and off it with the crowd fully appreciative of the innings.
