WELLINGTON: England moved closer to winning the second Test against New Zealand after dismissing the home side for 209 and enforcing the follow-on early on the third day on Sunday.
New Zealand will begin their second innings facing a deficit of 226 runs at the Basin Reserve after losing their last three wickets in a lively first hour´s play.
Seamer Stuart Broad claimed all three scalps to finish with 4-61 while the home side add 71 off 11.2 overs after resuming at 138-7.
Broad´s introduction halted a New Zealand charge led by captain Tim Southee, who was dismissed for 73 after blazing 50 runs of 30 balls on Sunday.
Southee´s free-wheeling innings featured six sixes, including three off one over bowled by left-arm spinner Jack Leach.
Southee finished four runs short of his career-best score, achieved in his Test debut 15 years ago.
His dismissal was followed quickly by those of Tom Blundell (38) and Matt Henry (6).
England, who declared at 435-8 early on day two, are in a strong position to complete a 2-0 series victory after winning the first Test by 267 runs in Mount Maunganui.
