The second Test between England and New Zealand was poised on a knife-edge after a fluctuating third morning in overcast conditions at Headingley on Sunday.
New Zealand fast bowler Tim Southee claimed three early victims to put England in trouble at 267 for eight but the last two wickets added 83 runs and the hosts recovered to 350 all out, exactly the same first-innings total as their opponents.
The New Zealand openers survived four testing overs to reach lunch on seven for no wicket with Tom Latham on three and Martin Guptill four.
England, who were 177 for no wicket shortly after tea on Saturday, resumed on 253 for five under grey skies perfect for swing bowling and Southee took full advantage.
Ian Bell, on 12, pushed loosely at a wide ball and edged a catch to Mark Craig at second slip.
Jos Buttler nicked a full-length swinging delivery to Ross Taylor at first slip to depart for six and Moeen Ali made one before being smartly taken at third slip by Guptill off the inspired Southee.
New Zealand were eyeing a healthy first-innings lead but Stuart Broad and Mark Wood launched a fierce counter attack to add 51 runs off 49 balls for the ninth wicket.
Off-spinner Mark Craig had Mark Wood caught by wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi for 19 to end an entertaining partnership but Broad continued to throw the bat, heaving Matt Henry over square leg for six.
He also put on 32 for the last wicket with James Anderson before being bowled by Henry for 46, Broad's best innings for nearly a year following a wretched run with the bat.
It was only the eighth time in Test cricket history that both teams made the same total in their first innings.
England won the first Test in the two-match series at Lord's by 124 runs.
