Two late
wickets left England in control as a New Zealand XI reached 224-6 at stumps on
the second day of their warm-up match in Queenstown.
Dean Brownlie was caught down the leg side for 63 in the penultimate over of the day off Jonathan Trott before Graeme Swann trapped Jimmy Neesham lbw for a duck.
England lead by 202 runs, having been dismissed for 426 in the first innings.
Ian Bell, who resumed on 127, fell
for 158 in the morning.
Hamish Rutherford, pressing to make his Test debut against England next month, scored 90 for the hosts, hitting 13 fours and a six from 149 balls.
The four-day match is England's only warm-up game ahead of the three-Test series, which starts in Dunedin on 6 March.
