England are on the verge of victory in the third and final Test against New Zealand after another excellent five-wicket haul from Jack Leach and a brilliant unbeaten partnership between Ollie Pope and Joe Root.
Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell did frustrate England's bowlers early on day four, as the pair staged another crucial partnership worth 113 runs. Matthew Potts finally made the key breakthrough for the hosts, getting Mitchell lbw for 56.
England then quickly wrapped up the New Zealand innings, with Leach taking the final four wickets as he picked up ten wickets in a match for the first time in Test cricket. With New Zealand all out for 326, England needed 296 to complete a 3-0 series whitewash.
