Chasing the tourists' lowly score of 182, England were favourites to secure their second victory of the five-match series after only two members of New Zealand's line-up - Grant Elliott and Kyle Mills passed 40.

But England's reply slumped to 64 for six in the 19th over as New Zealand's seamers hit back strongly to leave England facing a major battle to secure victory.

Mills claimed the wickets of Luke Wright and Kevin Pietersen and Tim Southee dismissed Ravi Bopara, Owais Shah and Tim Ambrose to leave England reeling.

Earlier, Stuart Broad continued his emergence into a high-quality international player to help England restrict New Zealand to a modest total.

The Nottinghamshire seamer has been a key member of England's one-day side for the last two years, but delivered his most economical spell to date as New Zealand were dismissed for 182 after being put into bat.

Given the new ball, Broad bowled all his 10 overs in one spell and finished with two for 14 - the most economical figures of his 29 one-day international career - and set the tone for an impressive bowling display from England.

James Anderson returned figures of three for 61, while Grant Elliott held the New Zealand innings together with a well-made 56.
