The Black Caps are looking at a big second test defeat to England after another tough day at the Basin Reserve.
England are 378-5 at stumps on day two on Saturday, with Ben Stokes and Joe Root smashing the bowlers around the ground for an overall lead of 533 runs.
LATEST HEADLINES:
Stokes is 35 not out off 26 balls, including two sixes and one four, while Root is 73 not out from 106.
Ben Duckett made 92 and Jacob Bethell 96, while Harry Brook made 55 before being well caught by Will O'Rourke off the bowling of Glenn Phillips.
Ollie Pope went for 10 and opener Zak Crawley struggled again, out for eight.
Tim Southee had the best bowling figures of 2-72, and Matt Henry 2-76, but both went for in excess of five per over.
Earlier, the Black Caps innings folded quickly.
O'Rourke was out for no score, Tom Blundell for 16 and then Nathan Smith. Henry and Southee followed as Gus Atkinson took a hat-trick, finishing the innings with 4-31 from 8.5 overs.
Phillips was left stranded on 16 after looking comfortable at the wicket and once again appeared to be batting too low down the order.
New Zealand were all out for 125, giving England a lead of 155 on the first innings.
