Scuffles involving England supporters were caught on camera on Sunday, with some punches being thrown, as Ben Stokes' side took control of the match and look destined for a whitewash of the world champions
The Barmy Army has issued a statement saying any members found guilty of violent behaviour will have their memberships revoked after fights broke out on Headingley's Western Terrace on day four of the third Test between England and New Zealand.
Scuffles involving England supporters were caught on camera on Sunday, with some punches being thrown, as Ben Stokes' side took control of the match and look destined for a whitewash of the world champions.
A man wearing a retro England football shirt was seen to be involved in the incident, which was captured on camera by another supporter nearby. A handful of individuals were subsequenly removed from the stand by police.
It is unclear at present how many, if any, arrests were made as a result of the disorder, but after the close of play the Barmy Army - England's biggest and best-known fan club - produced a pointed reaction to events.

The organisation's statement read: "After reports of some unsavoury behaviour over the weekend at Headingley, we'd like to remind anyone attending the cricket that certain behaviours aren't tolerated by the Barmy Army, and that we are proud of our code of conduct, which is centred around respect and enjoyment of the game for all.
"Any cup throwing and violent behaviour has zero place at a cricket ground, and any member found to have been involved in these activities will have their membership revoked.
"The Barmy Army is and always will be fiercely passionate about the core values of our great game."
