England's Stuart Broad blitzed New Zealand's top order in a dazzling spell under the Bay Oval lights to leave the hosts reeling on 63 for five after the third day of the first test on Saturday, 331 runs shy of their unlikely victory target.
Ollie Robinson chipped in with the wicket of Henry Nicholls for seven and Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell will resume on Sunday with two days of the match stretching out in front of them. Root looked less comfortable with the attacking style but worked his way neatly to 57 before an ill-judged attempt at a reverse sweep resulted in a top edge which was caught in the slips off the wicketkeeper's gloves.
The England skipper's 31 included his 108th six to take him past his coach Brendon"Baz" McCullum as the most prolific scorer of the maximum in test cricket history.
