New Zealand openers Tom Latham and Devon Conway survived 19 overs to push the hosts to 40 without loss in their second innings at lunch on day three of the second test on Sunday after England enforced the follow-on.
With New Zealand having fallen 27 runs short of avoiding the follow-on, England captain Ben Stokes had little hesitation sending the Black Caps back in to bat on an overcast morning. They briefly held hope of mowing down the target as tail-ender captain Tim Southee went on six-hitting spree while wicketkeeper Tom Blundell played a steady hand.
On 71, Southee top-edged Stuart Broad to fine leg but Leach spilled the catch just in front of the rope.
