MARTY MELVILLE / AFP

England's cricketers have levelled their T20 International series against New Zealand after easily winning the fourth match in Napier.

Dawid Malan smashed the fastest century ever by an Englishman in the shortest format of the game as his 53-ball 103 helped the tourists to a massive total of 241 for 3.

The Blackcaps were then bowled out for 165, giving England a comfortable 76 run victory. 

The fifth and final match will be played in Auckland on Sunday.
