England's bowlers have started strongly on day two of the third Test against New Zealand in Auckland, reducing the hosts to 312-4 at lunch.

New Zealand, who began the day on 250-1, had Kane Williamson caught by Matt Prior off the bowling of Jimmy Anderson for 91 as the first of three wickets fell.

Ross Taylor was next to go, caught and bowled by Monty Panesar following a knock of 19, before Peter Fulton's lengthy spell at the crease was ended with 136 runs to the opener's name.

The batsman, who had been out in the middle for a total of seven hours and 38 minutes, was caught spectacularly by Prior off a Steven Finn delivery.

Brendan McCullum (14) and Dean Brownlie (6) will start in bat for New Zealand this afternoon.
