London - New Zealand are on the verge of starting their tour of England with a convincing win against Somerset at Taunton.
The Black Caps reduced Somerset to 142 for six in pursuit of a victory target of 344 on Sunday and will start Monday's fourth and final day needing just four more wickets for victory.
By contrast Somerset, who have lost all three of their First Division County Championship matches so far this season, require 202 more runs to pull off what would be an improbable victory, with rain seemingly their best hope of salvaging a draw.
