What a difference a day makes.
Having taken 40 overs to completely dismantle the New Zealand first innings on Thursday, England's bowlers took just four wickets across 79 overs on a classic day in the dirt on Friday.
And as they watched Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell build a potentially match-winning partnership of 180 that has turned a first innings lead of nine for England into a deficit of 227 so far, they will be kicking themselves that it wasn’t their batsmen enjoying the friendlier conditions.
