Despite centuries to Joe Root and Rory Burns England expressed disappointment at stumps on day three of the second Test against New Zealand after losing late wickets in Hamilton on Sunday.
England captain Root ended his run drought with an unbeaten 114 while Burns rode his luck to post 101.
But after they took England to 201 for two, the tourists were 269 for five at stumps and still trailing New Zealand by 106.
"I enjoyed the fact I got it (hundred) but at the same time disappointed me and Rooty couldn't stretch our partnership and get us deeper into the game," Burn said.
"We're disappointed to lose a couple of wickets at the back end as well."
"If things aren't happening you keep on trying."
