Steven Finn halts New Zealand reply

New Zealand are 62-2 at lunch in reply to England's first innings total of 354.

Two wickets late in the morning session from Steven Finn have left England in a strong position at lunch on day three of the second Test against New Zealand.

The hosts added 17 runs to their overnight score of 337-7, being bowled out for 354 early on.

Peter Fulton and Hamish Rutherford made a strong start to the Black Caps innings, reaching 55 without loss.

However, Finn claimed the wicket of Fulton with the opening batsman hitting the ball straight at the bowler.

Rutherford followed just before lunch, edging a Finn delivery to Ian Bell to leave the tourists 62-2 heading into the afternoon session.
