The first test between New Zealand and England has been drawn.
The England innings finished at 421 for six. The visitors had a lead of 128 when both captains agreed to call play off at 4.45pm.
New Zealand had a glimpse of victory early in the final session when England moved from 386 for four to 390 for six thanks to Bruce Martin trapping Steve Finn lbw for 56 and Tim Southee running out Joe Root for a duck through a direct hit from the covers. Finn's nightwatchman vigil lasted 284 minutes and 203 balls.
A spirited Neil Wagner bowling spell also gleaned two hard-earned wickets in the penultimate session but the match looked headed towards a draw after the first session of the final day.
Earlier first time century-maker Nick Compton went lbw Wagner for 117. Wagner backed up with a spell of eight overs, two wickets for 20 runs after lunch. He surprised Jonathan Trott with extra bounce to get him caught and bowled for 52 and had Kevin Pietersen caught behind for 12. It was suitable reward for his tenacity. He finished with figures of three for 141 from 43 overs.
