New Zealand hold a marginal edge in the third Test at Headingley after an outstanding day of Test cricket at Headingley.
England started the day on 253-5, trailing New Zealand by 97 run but got off to a disastrous start to the day as they lost three quick wickets for just ten runs.
Ian Bell was first to fall as he drove loosely to Tim Southee to continue his lean run of form, departing for just 12. Southee then found the edge of Jos Buttler, removing the England wicketkeeper for 10.
Just three balls later, Southee continued his excellent morning spell as Moeen Ali pushed at a length delivery but could only edge to third slip for 1.
At 267-8, England were well behind in the game before Stuart Broad found much-needed form with the bat. Despite being dropped by Tom Latham early in his innings, Broad threw his hands at anything pitched up and attacked anything short as he pushed England towards a first innings lead.
Broad was accompanied by Mark Wood who provided the perfect foil before attempting a cut off the bowling of Mark Craig but only managing to feather an edge through to Luke Ronchi behind the stumps for 19.
The final wicket pair of Broad and James Anderson went on to add 32 runs in just seven overs before Matt Henry took his first wicket of the innings as a full inswinging delivery dislodged Broad's middle stump for 46.
England finished on 350, meaning the scores were tied.
Having found form with the bat and taken a first innings five-wicket haul, Broad would continue his outstanding match with the early wickets of Tom Latham, caught behind for 3 attempting a cut and the crucial wicket of Kane Williamson who could pushed at a back of a length delivery outside off and feathered a thin edge to Buttler.
New Zealand were 23-2 when Martin Guptill and Ross Taylor counter-attacked to add 99 runs in just 14.3 overs. The duo batted superbly and looked to be shifting the momentum of the match back towards the Blackcaps before Taylor drove Mark Wood straight to short cover where Ben Stokes took a good diving catch. Taylor's 48 came at a run-a-ball and was by far his best innings of the series thus far.
Martin Guptill also fell to Wood as he attempted to drive Wood through extra-cover but could only edge to Joe Root at second slip who took a comfortable catch. Guptill also scored at a run-a-ball for his 70. The opener's scores for the series read 70, 0, 0, 70.
New Zealand were scoring at a fast rate and with Brendon McCullum, the rate wasn't about to slow down.
The Blackcaps captain played patiently alongside BJ Watling as they pushed New Zealand into a position of power as both compiled composed half-centuries before McCullum was dismissed for 55.
Mark Wood brought a delivery back in towards McCullum from wide of the crease and trapped him on the back foot in front of the stumps and despite a review from the New Zealand captain, McCullum had to depart.
Wood has been compared to Simon Jones in his short international career and showed why with a superb spell of bowling with the old ball that deserved more than the one wickets of McCullum.
Luke Ronchi came in and blazed an exciting 31 from just 23 deliveries before edging a James Anderson delivery through to Buttler for his third catch of the innings.
Taylor, Guptill, McCullum and Ronchi all took the attack to the England bowling as they scored at a quick rate. However, BJ Watling proved to be the unsung hero for the Blackcaps yet again with a fine century, the first New Zealander to score a Test century at Headingley.
Watling soaked the pressure from the England bowler's yet scored freely with 13 fours and 1 six in his 136-ball century. Watling's innings could be the turning point in the match as New Zealand are now 333 runs ahead with four wickets left meaning England are likely to need to score the highest innings of the match in the fourth innings on a worsening pitch in order to win the game with the draw seemingly unlikely.
