New Zealand have tightened their grip on the third Test against England after the morning session on day four in Auckland.

Starting on 35-3, the hosts added 141 runs to their overnight total for the loss of one wicket to give themselves a lead of 415.

The only wicket to fall was that of Dean Brownlie when he was caught by Ian Bell off the bowling of Monty Panesar for 28.

The hosts constantly chipped away at the crease and it was not long before Peter Fulton brought up his 50 with New Zealand on 108-4.

Fulton will start the afternoon on 91, while Brendan McCullum will join him out in the middle on 44.
