James Anderson says that he is fit for the deciding Test against New Zealand later this week.

England bowler James Anderson has declared himself fit for his side's crunch match with New Zealand.

The two sides meet in Auckland on Thursday evening UK time in the third and final Test, with the series currently tied at 0-0 due to weather-affected draws in the opening two meetings.

Concerns had been raised about the 30-year-old's back and heel due to bowling the majority of his 37 overs into fierce wind during the second clash, but Anderson says that he is raring to go.

"I feel okay," Anderson told Sky Sports News. "The rain probably helped in the end, getting an extra day off. It gave my body an extra bit of rest. So I hope, come Friday, my body will be ready to go five days again.

"It's obviously a decider. We want to win the series, and will be looking at it as a very important game.

"There's a lot of pressure around the game, and we'll have to play very well to compete with New Zealand."

Anderson is five wickets away from becoming only the fourth Englishman to take 300 in Tests.
