England make good progress in the morning session of day four, but lose Nick Compton to an lbw from Neil Wagner.

England have added 93 runs to their total on day four in New Zealand, taking them past the target set by the hosts.

The tourists started the day with Nick Compton and Steven Finn at the crease with the score at 236.

They started steadily before Neil Wagner managed to trap Compton lbw, ending his maiden Test century on 117.

Jonathan Trott replaced him and quickly set about getting himself in, making it to 37 before the break. Alongside him, Finn has proved himself a talented batsmen and is only eight away from a half-century.

As it stands England lead by 36 runs, with a day and a half remaining.
