New Zealand built a lead of 238 with three second innings wickets remaining on Monday heading into a delicately poised final day of the second test against England.

Two run outs and some poor shot selection from the tourists saw them slip to 224 for seven and gave England a glimmer of hope that they can dismiss the kiwis quickly on Tuesday and then take on the target.

In the opening session, New Zealand gained a 14-run first inning lead, after rattling through England’s lower order, bowling the hosts out for 539 with Trent Boult taking five wickets. But a century partnership between Young and Devon Conway restored the dominance of bat over ball that has been evident throughout the match before a rash shot gave England hope.

Will Young had looked in sound form, making 56 before he was run out following a mix-up with Mitchell, Ollie Pope showing clever alertness to return to the non-strikers end.
