England vs New Zealand, Third Test: Live blog, scores

Correspondent 13 Nov 2015 11:24 PM

England and New Zealand clash in the series decider in Wigan. Join us from 12.45pm for commentary on all the action from the third Test at the DW Stadium.

England is after a 2-1 series win, while New Zealand is aiming for a rare series triumph after losing the first match in Hull.

The Kiwis were much improved in London, with Kodi Nikorima making a big impact in the place of Tui Lolohea.

The Antipodeans raised their game and England could not score a try, let alone make a linebreak, in the whole 80 minutes.

The closest they came was a grubber which James Graham tried to ground, but was ruled no try by the referee.

9-2 was the final scoreline in the second Test and England is under pressure to fix its attack.

Matty Smith and Jermaine McGillvary have come into the 19-man squad, with Smith widely expected to take the place of his Wigan teammate George Williams in the halves.

Leroy Cudjoe and Ben Westwood have made way for Smith and McGillvary.

New Zealand have named the same 19-man squad, with only Gerald Beale replacing Lolohea.

Join Love Rugby League from 12.45pm for this decider. Come and take part in the conversion as the action unfolds.
