The Silver Ferns have one hand on the Constellation Cup after a come-from-behind victory in a physical third test against the Australian Diamonds in Christchurch.

Despite trailing for much of the game, the Silver Ferns found their mojo in the second half and overwhelmed the Australians with some high-pressure defence and knock-down shooting, eventually taking a 55-49 victory.

A draw or victory in today's fourth and final match would see the home side take the series.

New Zealand now has the advantage as the team seeks to win its first Constellation Cup in eight attempts.

The Constellation Cup final starts at 12pm today.
