View photos: NZ v England, third testKEY POINTS:
Pace bowling debutant Tim Southee struck instantly and England also achieved a welcome early breakthrough before Stephen Fleming gave New Zealand a measure of dominance at lunch on day two of the third cricket test at McLean Park here today.
In reply to England's first innings of 253, New Zealand were 93 for one at the end of the first session with Fleming, playing his farewell test, on 56 alongside Jamie How (30).
England's first innings ended abruptly thanks to 19-year-old Southee who removed Stuart Broad for 42 with the first ball of the morning.
Chris Martin then dislodged Monty Panesar for a single before Southee became the sixth New Zealand bowler to take a five-wicket haul on debut when Ryan Sidebottom was caught by Matthew Bell for 14 - the highlight of the New Zealand opener's morning.
England added just 13 to their overnight 240 for seven before their innings was wrapped up in 4.1 overs.
Swing bowler Sidebottom had New Zealand in early trouble however as Bell's troubled series continued.
The right hander was trapped leg before wicket second ball without scoring - his third duck in four innings.
But Fleming took charge immediately, gliding a four through mid wicket off his first delivery but then played circumspectly until the 10th over where he peeled three boundaries and a six in successive deliveries from James Anderson.
The former captain continued to dominate the scoring - and a 50-run partnership for the second wicket with How off 78 balls.
How got off the mark after facing 13 balls and was on one for another 22 before taking consecutive boundaries off Stuart Broad.
By then Fleming was well underway though he had a huge let off on 44 when Andrew Strauss was late to react at first slip.
The ball from Anderson crossed the rope and Fleming duly brought up his 45th test half century by driving the next delivery through cover.
His half century took 53 balls and included eight boundaries and the six over backward point.
Earlier Southee ended with five for 55 off 23.1 overs, the third best haul on debut by a New Zealander behind Alec Moir's six for 155 against England at Christchurch in 1951 and Fen Cresswell's six for 168, also against England on The Oval on the 1949 tour.
Paceman Martin ended with two for 72 while spinner Jeetan Patel claimed two for 37 yesterday.
England's bowlers were not as effective, apart from Sidebottom who had one for 10 off seven. Anderson, meanwhile, was expensive conceding 54 off seven.
