New Zealand 138 for 7 (Blundell 25*, Southee 23*) trail England 435 for 8 dec (Brook 186, Root 153*, Henry 4-100) by 297 runs
Wellington: England's dominance of New Zealand was only halted by rain on day two of the second Test in Wellington.
Three wickets each for James Anderson and Jack Leach reduced the home side to 138-7, 297 runs behind.
England's relentless bowling and sharp catching - bat-pad man Ollie Pope claimed two superb grabs off Leach - had raised the prospect of the tourists being able to enforce the follow-on.
That decision will have to wait for Sunday after rain arrived to wipe out almost two hours of play in the evening session.
England had earlier moved from their overnight 315-3 to 435-8 declared, crashing 120 runs in less than two hours.
Harry Brook was out to the seventh ball he faced for 186, but Joe Root continued on to make 153 not out.
Play on day three will once again begin at the earlier in order to make up some of the overs lost on the opening two days.
Both teams have found themselves 21-3 in this match, but whereas England launched a stunning counter-attack in the shape of Root and Brook's 302-run stand, the Black Caps meekly folded.
England's intent to move the game on quickly was evident immediately. Root, 101 not out overnight, reverse-scooped the fourth ball he faced for six off the pace of Southee.
Brook had added only two to his 184 when pushed back a return catch for Matt Henry to juggle - his stated target of the 210 his father David once made in a club game made to wait for another day.
Stokes slogged 27 before miscuing Neil Wagner to mid-off, Foakes was stumped down the leg side for a duck and a sweeping Broad was lbw for 14, both to Bracewell's off-spin, and Ollie Robinson was caught at cover for 18 to give Henry his fourth wicket.
Root continued the charge from the other end with more reverse-scoops and scoops. Bracewell and Southee were each larruped over mid-wicket for six.
When Henry was aerially clipped to square leg for four, Root had his 14th Test score in excess of 150 and England declared. The former captain had added 52 runs from the 42 balls he faced on Saturday morning.
