Narrative:

While on a dogleg base to final runway 22L into ewr; my first officer reported that we had barely missed colliding with a drone. We were 5 miles west of final at 3;000 feet when a white drone with some red striping came within a couple hundred feet with us. We believe it was at our altitude but a couple hundred feet south of our course. We reported it to ATC and continued our landing without incident.
