First Test, Hamilton: New Zealand 470 & 147-8 v England 348 (stumps, day four)
Ryan Sidebottom took a hat-trick as England hit back in astonishing fashion late on day four, New Zealand closing 269 runs ahead at 147-8 in Hamilton.
Having taken a first innings lead of 122, New Zealand were coasting with Stephen Fleming's serene 44th Test 50. The Kiwis pressed but, aided by superb catching, England took four wickets in nine balls, Sidebottom with 5-37.
Monty Panesar added 3-33 after Paul Collingwood and debutant Tim Ambrose hit fifties in England's obdurate 348.
On a gloriously sunny morning at Seddon Park, the spectators arrived in healthy numbers hoping for more entertainment than had been seen in the previous three days.
But until the dramatic final session, the depressingly docile wicket, plus England's refusal to alter their defensive gameplan, meant the liberally sprinkled grass banks remained quiet, more reminiscent of a garden party. (BBC Sport)
