England close in on series clean-sweep despite Kane Williamson century for New Zealand

England need another 210 runs to defeat New Zealand on the final day of the second Test – a win that would secure them a series clean-sweep.

England were 48-1 at stumps, with opener Ben Duckett (23 not out) and nightwatchman Ollie Robinson (one not out) surviving the tense final overs at the Basin Reserve after New Zealand captain Tim Southee bowled Zak Crawley for 24.

England will fancy their chances of reeling in the remaining runs on Day 5, having chased down 277, 299 and 296 in successive Tests to whitewash New Zealand at home last summer.

Ben Stokes's team also mowed down a record 378 to beat India in Birmingham as the Ben Stokes-Brendan McCullum captain-coach partnership now targets a seventh successive Test win.

Earlier, Kane Williamson became New Zealand's all-time leading run-scorer before going on to compile a magnificent 132 that helped his team reach 483 all out – with Tom Blundell also contributing a vital 90 – in their second innings and set England a victory target of 258 runs in Wellington.

It left England needing to pull off the highest run-chase by any team that has enforced the follow-on in a Test, while only three other teams have ever made more than New Zealand following-on against England.

If Stokes' side fail, they will become the first England team to lose a Test after enforcing the follow-on.

A hundred on a historic day for Kane Williamson. His 26th in Tests. 8 fours, 225 balls and 386 minutes
