  1. Jamie Overton to make debut, Stokes fit

    England have already named their team with pace bowler Jamie Overton making his debut.

    Surrey's Overton, capable of bowling in excess of 90mph, replaces James Anderson, who misses out with an ankle problem.

    He was named in the squad alongside his twin Craig. Though Craig is not playing, the Overtons will still become the first twin brothers to play Test cricket for England.

    Ben Stokes is fit to lead England after recovering from illness that forced him to miss training on Tuesday.

  2. Slip, slop, slap

    And look at this! It looks set to be a gloriously sunny day at Headingley today which should ensure a full day's play.

    Friday doesn't look as good, but we don't have to talk about that right now.

  3. Welcome to coverage of the third Test at Headingley.

    The Brendon McCullum era has certainly delivered so far.

    After a run of only one win in 17 Tests England have secured back-to-back victories at Lord's and Trent Bridge and head to Leeds looking to seal a clean sweep against the world Test champions.

    How quickly things can change.
