England will look for a clean sweep when they lock horns with New Zealand in the third Test, which starts on June 23 at Headingley in Leeds. Ben Stokes and Co currently lead the three-match series by a 2-0 margin.

The new era under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum has gotten off to a spectacular start for England. And they will certainly view this as an opportunity to make it 3-0 which will not only send a statement to the cricketing world but also set the tone for the India Tests.

The reigning World Test Champions, on the other hand, have had their moments in the last two Tests. However, New Zealand have failed to seize those moments. Skipper Kane Williamson is all to return and all eyes will be on him firmly. Williamson badly needs a top innings to get his rhythm back.
