New Zealand frustrate England's hunt for victory after Ben Stokes enforces follow on

England remain firmly in control of the second Test against New Zealand, despite half-centuries from Tim Southee, Tom Latham and Devon Conway frustrating them in their pursuit of victory.

New Zealand skipper Southee began the day with a swashbuckling 74 off just 49 balls that included six sixes and five fours. It was the 34-year-old's second-highest score, behind a 40-ball 77 he smashed against England on his debut back in 2008.

Southee's fun came to an end when he holed out off Stuart Broad and England proceeded to quickly take the final two wickets, with Broad getting Tom Blundell caught at mid-on for 38 and Matt Henry caught at backward point for six to end with figures of 4-61.
