Natasha Hunt's try secured a draw for England Women in the final match of the three-Test series with New Zealand.

The final Test at Esher followed a 10-0 victory last weekend and a 21-7 win on Tuesday which sealed the series.

The Black Ferns led 8-3 after a Renee Wickliffe try but replacement Hunt levelled the score after 55 minutes.

England head coach Gary Street said: "If I had been offered two wins and a draw against the world champions 10 days ago I would have taken that."
