Lees had thrown the first two balls of the chase, which Southee kicked, offside for four to confirm that England had plans only to win the game, not to draw.
This was in stark contrast to the Lord’s Test against New Zealand a year ago, when the hosts chose not to continue with 273 of the 75 overs and instead reached a dead end.

Bullt was the last player to come out, dressing James Anderson (2-20) until the middle of the game after Stuart Brod (3-70) bounced off Henry (18) and back injury victim Kyle Jamieson (1). from the courtyard – Henry could not resist getting the hook after England moved the man deep.
Henry should have fallen into the second ball of the day when he was just eight, but Ruth got low on the slide after Jack Leach challenged the edge with a dress he caught and straightened – Ruth received a blow to the finger as he tried to catch and temporarily left the field for treatment.
Ruth was good on the bat, although he could only hold four balls, unable to support his first 176 balls which was the fourth century in the last five Test and the 10th in the last 22.
