Jack Leach

Leach’s first 10-wicket Test match haul and half-centuries from Ollie Pope and Joe Root have left England on course for a 3-0 series win.

Spinner Leach took 10 wickets in a Test match for the first time.

Leach finished with second-innings figures of five for 66 as New Zealand were bowled out for 326.

New Zealand closed the opening day of the final Test against England on 225 for five after Henry Nicholls was dismissed in bizarre fashion.

Yorkshire batter Harry Brook and Somerset seamer Craig Overton miss out once again.

Mahmood made 49 and Leach 41 not out as England recovered from 67 for seven to 204 all out.

The Somerset spinner has bowled more than twice as many overs as any other bowler in England’s series in the West Indies.

Brathwaite batted for 11 hours and 39 minutes, faced 489 deliveries and scored 160.

The hosts were 114 for three at lunch on day three in the second Test.

The 35-year-old was aided by some slack handiwork from wicketkeeper Jos Buttler and Joe Root at slip, with the pair combining to put him down on 28.
