New Zealand have gained the upper hand in the second Test after extending their first innings to 391 before reducing England to 6-222 by the close on the second day at The Oval.
Glenn Phillips helped himself to his first Test century before lunch on Thursday as England's ragged bowling allowed New Zealand to add 100 vital runs to their overnight 7-291.
In reply, Ben Duckett was run out after a rapid 36 and fellow opener Emilio Gay made a half-century but New Zealand pace bowler Matt Henry trapped England danger men Joe Root and Harry Brook lbw to leave the hosts reeling.
