:New Zealand openers Tom Latham and Devon Conway defied England's bowlers for an entire session as Ben Stokes's decision to enforce the follow-on paid no immediate dividends on day three of the second test in Wellington on Sunday.
New Zealand were bowled out in the morning session for 209 in reply to England's declared first innings total of 435 for eight, the Black Caps falling 27 runs short of avoiding the follow-on. Conway also grew in confidence, smashing a six and a four to give home fans hope of England having a fourth innings chase.
They briefly held hope of mowing the runs down as tail-ender captain Tim Southee went on a six-hitting spree in an entertaining knock of 73 off 49 balls.
