England's Graeme Swann hits a shot during day three of the four day warm-up international cricket match between New Zealand XI and England at the Queenstown Event Center in Queenstown on March 1 (AFP)
England's top order collapsed to give a New Zealand XI hope of an unlikely victory on day three of a four-day warm-up match in Queenstown on Friday.
After resuming their first innings on 224, the New Zealanders declared at seven for 349, with BJ Watling (66) and Corey Anderson (67) adding useful runs to the overnight total.
England's top order failed to cope with the new ball and the tourists were reeling at four for 67 after just 18 overs, with Nick Compton out for one and Kevin Pietersen managing just eight after his first innings total of 14.
Matt Prior (68) and Ian Bell (38) steadied the innings but a late flurry of wickets in the final session saw England at nine for 256 by stumps, despite an unbeaten 41 off 54 balls from Graeme Swann.
