England v NZ day three photos

England's Kevin Pietersen survives a confident lbw shout from Iain O'Brien at the start of the third day's play

New Zealand are soon celebrating, however, as Daniel Vettori produces a beauty to have Pietersen caught at slip

England's decline continues as Ian Bell becomes O'Brien's third victim of the match, departing with only eight to his name

Paul Collingwood casts a rueful glance towards the umpire after being adjudged leg-before to Vettori's arm ball

The procession continues as Ambrose and Panesar fall cheaply, but Stuart Broad saves the follow-on with some positive shots

Kyle Mills picks up England's last two wickets but it is Vettori who takes the plaudits for his 15th five-wicket haul in Tests

Trailing by 179 on first innings, Jimmy Anderson lifts England spirits with the early wicket of Kiwi opener Aaron Redmond

Ryan Sidebottom is out of luck with the new ball and is only given a four-over spell before England turn to spin

The switch to spin proves a shrewd move as Monty Panesar sends Jamie How on his way, trapped lbw for 29

Panesar loves Old Trafford and shows why by running through New Zealand's top order to reach 100 wickets in Test cricket

Danger man Brendon McCullum is among Panesar's victims, given out third ball after missing an attempted sweep

Panesar achieves career-best figures of 6-37 but it is Sidebottom who finishes the Kiwis off to leave England with a target of 294

Alasatir Cook is watchful in defence but he and Andrew Strauss start England's second innings well with a half century stand

Vettori has the final word of an intriguing day's play as he dismisses Cook with the help of a short-leg catch
