England win by four wickets! That's it! Thorpe squirts Oram to square-leg for the winning single. What a result for England! They were 16 for two in pursuit of 284 and they have been taken home by one of the great hundreds by Graham Thorpe. But don't forget Ashley Giles. He took four wickets in the second innings and came to the crease today with the score on 214 and the game in the balance. England win 3-0 and I'm off to watch the football. Thanks for all your emails. It's been an absolute pleasure.

WICKET! Butcher lbw b Cairns 59 (134-4) That could be the moment that decides this Test. Two balls after persuading the umpires to change the ball, Cairns swings one back into Butcher's pads and that, I'm afraid, is plumb. New Zealand are back on top. Join me at 3.30pm for live coverage of the final session.
