England vs New Zealand: Stuart Broad believes Black Caps can put series to bed with strong day four performance in series-deciding Test

Stuart Broad believes New Zealand can "put the game to bed" against England on day four of the series-deciding third Test after they opened up a commanding 204-run second-innings lead.

England had started the third day with hopes of batting through and building a sizeable first-innings lead but instead stumbled from their overnight score of 223-2 to 354 all out to see New Zealand up by 84.

A blistering spell from Jofra Archer prompted the dismissal of openers Tom Latham (4) and Devon Conway (5) to reignite hope, but an important half-century from Rachin Ravindra (60no) and Daryl Mitchell's unbeaten 26 allowed the Black Caps to consolidate an already impressive lead and end the day's play on 120-3.

The score leaves England on the brink of a damaging series defeat, and Broad feels a good fourth day for Latham's tourists could seal the deal.
