Michael Vaughan's side shelled five catches, while wicketkeeper Tim Ambrose missed a stumping as they produced a glut of chances in Wellington.

Breakthrough: Stuart Broad celebrates

New Zealand closed on 242 for six at stumps, 196 runs shy of their target, with Ryan Sidebottom and Broad sharing five wickets and first-innings star James Anderson adding another.

Broad said: "We missed a couple of chances but that happens in cricket.

"It's not for the want of trying; we've been doing our training and stuff."

The Nottinghamshire seamer, who clean bowled retiring former skipper Stephen Fleming on his farewell appearance on his home ground, praised his fellow bowlers for helping put England in a winning position despite trying conditions.

"We bowled well and it was great to get the wicket (of Jacob Oram) at the end. We come back tomorrow to pick up four wickets and win the Test.

"It was a lot easier from the top end and they did a great job, (Paul) Collingwood and Monty (Panesar) bowling into the wind.

"Luckily I bowled at the other end but full credit to those who bowled into it."

Broad believes England will be looking for an early breakthrough on the final morning, but realistically the hosts will struggle to make inroads into a foreboding total.

"The new ball will be crucuial. We picked one up already with the new ball and the ball is harder it does more off the wicket. Brendon McCullum (43 not out) is a dangerous player so it will be important."
