Captain Tim Southee produced a daring rearguard innings to help New Zealand reduce the deficit before England enforced the follow-on Sunday on the third morning of the second test.

New Zealand began the day at 138-7, still 297 runs behind England's first innings of 435-8 declared and needing 98 to avoid the follow-on. It added 71 runs, thanks mainly to Southee, but held on only for an hour before it's first innings ended at 209, giving England a lead of 226.
