WICKET!

Stuart Broad hit the previous ball for six, but he's bowled with that one. Wagner gets the wicket and Broad is gone for 10, England 223-9.

The match between the two sides is still on who will now hit the ground on Day 5 of the Test match. With New Zealand 62/2 in their ongoing second innings and England yet to put forth their second show with the bat, the match is likely to end in a draw.
