Brendon McCullum is not the sort to shirk a challenge so when New Zealand's wicketkeeper, BJ Watling, was ruled out of the second Test at Headingley because of injury, he wasted little time in deciding to take up the gloves that he supposedly relinquished for good in Test cricket nearly three years ago.
McCullum kept for part of England's second innings at Lord's - without pads on day three - after Watling injured his left knee attempting to run out Joe Root with a dive. Watling left the field and speculation began over who would take the gloves at Headlingey.
