England snared three quick wickets with spin but New Zealand's batters frustrated the tourists with their resistance on day three of the second test in Wellington on Sunday after Ben Stokes enforced the follow-on.
Number four Will Young, selected for the match to add depth to the hosts' batting, was bowled for eight by Leach, having managed two in the first innings.Williamson and Nicholls rode their luck through the final hour but strode off unbeaten, with New Zealand having some hope of setting England a proper fourth innings chase.
England skipper Stokes had little hesitation sending the hosts back in to bat on an overcast morning but Latham and Conway survived 19 watchful overs to lunch and then the entire middle session to tea.New Zealand started the day on 138 for seven in their first innings, still needing 98 runs to avoid the follow-on.
Southee smashed Leach for three sixes in an over, the second bringing up his fifty from 39 deliveries and sending the ball onto scaffolding behind the fence at long-on.But the spinner's anguish lasted only one ball as Southee was caught by Zak Crawley at midwicket after another top edge.
