Jos Buttler brought up his fifth Test fifty as England continued to battle to save the 2nd Test against New Zealand on Day Five at Headingley. New Zealand had the host reeling at 206 for eight at Tea earlier today. Trent Boult struck first when he had Lyth caught behind. Boult then came back to clean up Gary Ballance soon after. Mark Craig though delivered a twin strike when he got rid of both Ian Bell and Joe Root in quick succession. Alastair Cook was the lone man fighting for them.

After Lunch though, New Zealand struck with Kane Williamson trapping Cook in front after the latter brought up 9,000 Test runs for himself. The trouble continued for the hosts when Moeen Ali was bowled trying to leave an in-dipper from Matt Henry, rain did try to come in and halt the game but the Kiwis were too good on the day. Stuart Broad and Buttler played well adding 35 runs before the golden arm of Williamson came back to castle Broad for 23. Live updates: England vs New Zealand, 2nd Test, Day 5 at Headingley
