London: New Zealand dominate England's bowlers in reply to a total of 389 on day two of the first Test at Lord's on Friday.
Kane Williamson made an unbeaten 92 and Martin Guptill and Tom Latham passed 50 to take the Black Caps to 303-2, only 86 behind.
Reprieved, he played the supporting role in an unbroken stand of 155 with the fluent Williamson, who scored through the off side on both the front and back foot.
Taylor had another scare, an lbw review off James Anderson, but remains unbeaten on 47 to face the second new ball, which is due three overs into the third day.
England's bowlers remained disciplined but failed to find the swing enjoyed by their opponents and only late in the day altered their plans to attempt some short-pitched aggression.
England took two wickets in quick succession after New Zealand's openers shared a century stand.
New Zealand were 303 for two at stump in reply to England's first innings 345, a deficit of 216 runs, after Martin Guptill (70) and Tom Latham (59) put on 148 for the first wicket.
Just when it seemed the openers would bat through to tea, England took two wickets for no runs in three balls.
Off-spinner Moeen Ali succeeded where England's quicks had failed by having Latham lbw as the left-hander tried to turn the ball legside.
It was the end of a 95-ball innings featuring 10 fours and just New Zealand's fifth century opening stan in a Test in England.
Latham's innings was all the more impressive after he found himself keeping wicket for 75 overs while England batted after first-choice gloveman BJ Watling went off injured on Thursday.
Next over, 148 for one became 148 for two when Guptill carelessly drove a Stuart Broad outswinger low to Gary Ballance at cover.
Guptill, one of the stars of New Zealand's run to the World Cup final but playing his first Test in two years, trudged off slowly having put himself in position to press on for a coveted hundred at Lord's.
He faced 115 balls including eight fours and a swept six off Ali.
Earlier, in morning, England started the second day on 354 for seven, having been 30 for four on Thursday before a fifth-wicket stand of 161 between Joe Root (98) and all-rounder Stokes (92) revived the innings.
But they lost their final three wickets for just 37 runs in 10.5 overs on the second day of this two-Test series.
Left-arm paceman Trent Boult (4-79) and debutant fast bowler Matt Henry (4-93) leading the way.
