New Zealand 153/3 in 50.3 Overs | England vs New Zealand Third Test Day 4 Live Score: Hosts fight to stay alive as Black Caps aim for series win

England vs New Zealand Third Test Day 4 Live Score: Rachin Ravindra’s last half-century has given New Zealand a 204-run lead against England after three days of the series-deciding Test at Trent Bridge on Saturday.

New Zealand bowled out England for 354 at tea and took another big first innings lead of 84 runs.

The Black Caps made it 204 after reaching stumps on 120-3 with seven wickets and two days in hand on an increasingly checkered pitch.

Ravindra was 60 with Daryl Mitchell next to him on 26.

Ravindra came on in the fifth over of the second innings as New Zealand lost both openers with just 12 runs on the board. He moved into the counter-attack with Henry Nicholls and followed up with Mitchell for his second fifty in two Tests after 76 at The Oval last week.

Quick Jofra Archer removed New Zealand opening batsman Tom Latham in the first over and Devon Conway in the fifth. The pair combined to make a staggering 317 starts on Thursday, but only managed 4 this time.

Archer completed his opening salvo with 2-12 after five overs. He came back before the close and asked wicketkeeper Jamie Smith to face the stumps, as Tom Blundell does effectively in New Zealand. But with Smith, the Kiwis were unfazed.
