After a 98 2nd wicket stand at Headingley, wickets after the rain break wrestle back the momentum for England at Headingley.
The hosts began Day three with Jamie Overton and Johnny Bairstow looking to build on their brilliant partnership of 209.
Bairstow was in the form of his life at 130 not out, while Overton was 11 runs away from a first Test Century.
The local boy reached 150.

Stuart Broad joined in Bairstow’s counter-attack.

Embed from Getty ImagesJack Leach had some fun with the bat, but it did not last long, as he was pinned LBW by Southee for eight. England was all out for 360, with a slender lead of 31.
New Zealand’s openers faced a tricky 20-minute session before Lunch and came through unscathed at 13-0.
But the impressive Potts made the breakthrough when he removed Will Young for eight at 28-1. Joe Root made no mistake at second slip.

Embed from Getty ImagesWilliamson was back to his best.
England just had no clue on how to bowl at him.
Embed from Getty ImagesIt was at this point that frustration started to creep into the minds of England's bowlers, as the Left-Hander was given some friendly half-volleys.
And things got even worse when Root put him down on 72.
Embed from Getty ImagesAhh! England and their slip-catching woes appear yet again.
New Zealand went to Tea 125-1, with a lead of 95.
Overton gave England a spark, removing Latham at first ball after tea.
Embed from Getty ImagesHe also gave Conway a good welcome to the crease, with a steepling bouncer.
Embed from Getty ImagesThe Left-hander also got going with some streaky boundaries.
That was until Root caught him brilliantly by Ollie Pope at short leg. New Zealand 152-3.
Embed from Getty ImagesAnd then came the big wicket of Williamson, at Potts nicked him off to Bairstow, for 48 at 153-4.
And to boost the host's confidence, even more, Leach caught Nichols off his own bowling at 161-5.
Embed from Getty ImagesThe rain ended the third day's play, with New Zealand 168-5 with their two in-form players at the crease. The lead is 137. Can they continue to do what they've done all Series and torment England, or Can Stokes's men find an answer?
