England will have to wait until day four of their first Test against New Zealand for victory after rain heavily affected day three at Lord's.

The hosts managed to bowl just 9.4 overs on day three, though they did manage to take two wickets on Saturday.

Ollie Robinson (2-18) bowled Rachin Ravindra (8) out before trapping Daryl Mitchell (0) lbw in his next over.

New Zealand are 55-5, needing 199 runs for an unlikely victory, while England require five wickets to win on Sunday, when conditions are expected to be much better.

Opener Devon Conway (19) and Tom Blundell (2) will start at the crease on day four.
