Anderson claimed five for 73 on his return as England's new-look attack dismissed New Zealand for a lowly 198 in reply to their first innings total of 342 to establish a 144-runs first innings advantage at the Basin Reserve.

By the close of a second day which had included a maiden Test century for Tim Ambrose, England had extended that lead to 148 runs by reaching four without loss after surviving a testing five overs before the close.

The tourists had resumed on 291 for five with all eyes on Ambrose to see whether he could get the three runs required to end a run of 66 successive overseas Tests without a century from an England wicketkeeper.

He reached the landmark in streaky circumstances off the 19th ball of the day when he fended a Jacob Oram short ball off the shoulder of the bat down to the third man boundary for four.

But Ambrose was out in the next over, edging seamer Kyle Mills to slip for 102, as England added only 51 runs to their overnight total before being dismissed shortly before lunch with seamer Mark Gillespie finishing the innings with wickets off successive balls.
