We are back! The Kiwi openers, Will Young and Tom Latham make their way out to the middle. James Anderson will start with the new ball. Here we go...

Have to say, New Zealand have a slight advantage at the moment! England are going to bat last and if New Zealand can bat well, they will have the hosts under massive pressure. On the other hand, the hosts will hope their bowlers can do something similar to what they did in the first innings. Will the bowlers continue to dominate or will the batters have their say this time? Stick around to find out.

England, on the other hand, will be very disappointed. Their top three played decently to get them into a good position but the middle order and the lower order showed no fight. 8 of their batters did not pass the 10-run mark and that saw England take only a slender lead.

End of an excellent bowling performance from the Kiwis and courtesy of their bowlers, from being down and out in the game, the visitors are right back into this one. Who would have thought at 92-2 England would not end up with a big lead! Well from there on, it all went downhill for them. They have lost 8 wickets for just 49 runs and all the credit goes to Southee and Boult. Especially the former who was the pick and he got able support from the others.
