England finish day two with their noses in front despite a collapse in the morning session. After slumping from 277-4 to 295-8 in the space of four overs, Buttler and Leach stuck together for a tenacious partnership that helped lift the visitors up to a competitive 353 all out, and when they came to bat, New Zealand proved that it's not just England players who throw their wickets away. Of the four men to go before closing on 144-4, only Williamson really got done by a good ball that jumped up off a length and took him by surprise.
Kiwis bat a long way down though, so there's still plenty to do tomorrow.
