Earlier, at lunch, England were 67 without loss, with Burns batting at 32 and Sibley on 31. Together, they saw off the new-ball challenge.
New Zealand, who made six changes to the playing XI, resting key bowlers Tim Southee and Kyle Jamieson to keep them fresh for the World Test Championship final against India that begins on June 18, struggled to make breakthroughs even as they tried all five bowlers in the first session.



Matt Henry and Daryl Mitchell were brought in as replacements. Left-arm spinner Patel replaced an injured Mitchell Santner.

England brought in Olly Stone to replace Ollie Robinson, who has been suspended from Test cricket after some of his old racist and sexist tweets went viral on social media during the first Test.

The first Test had ended in a draw.
