DUNEDIN:
Ross Taylor scored an unbeaten 181 as New Zealand beat England by five wickets in the fourth one-day international in Dunedin Wednesday to level the series 2-2.

Taylor, supported by 71 from Tom Latham, ensured New Zealand reached England’s imposing 336-run target with three balls to spare.

Earlier, Jonny Bairstow blazed his way to 138 off 106 balls and Joe Root grafted out a hard-fought 102 during England’s innings.

The result means the series will go to a decider in Christchurch on Saturday.
