Swann had only one wicket to show in the Lord's Test but made amends with his performance in Headingley

New Zealand's tour of England in 2013 featured a two-Test series that provided Swann with contrasting fortunes in the space of a few days.

The first Test at Lord's turned out to be one to forget for Swann who picked up just 1 wicket in the match. But he amends with his performance in the second Test at Headingley picking up his third and what proved to be his final ten-wicket haul in Test cricket.

Batting first, England scored 354 thanks to a century from Joe Root, while the tourists were dismissed for just 174 runs in their first innings.

Swann was the pick of the bowlers for England, picking up 4 wickets from just nine overs.

With a big lead in the kitty, the hosts went about scoring their runs quickly in the second innings, scoring 287/5 before declaring their innings.

Needing 468 to win, Swann thwarted any hopes of a New Zealand victory by picking up six second-innings wickets to finish with match figures of 132, thereby picking up the Man-of-the-Match award as well.
