New Zealand, with the three-match series up for grabs at 1-1, were faltering at 12-2 in their second innings following fast bowler Archer's two wickets after tea on the third day.But at stumps they had recovered to 120-3, a significant overall lead of 204 runs, with a previously good pitch now showing signs of uneven bounce after being 'baked' for three days in soaring heat.Ravindra was 60 not out, his second fifty of the series.The 26-year-old left-hander received good support from Daryl Mitchell (26 not out) in an unbroken stand of 69."We always knew that new ball period was going to be tough work but credit to Rachin and Daryl they played really well after that," New Zealand concussion substitute Zak Foulkes, who earlier Saturday returned fine figures of 3-35 in just 15.2 overs, told reporters."Hopefully they can carry on in the morning (Sunday)."England are on a run of six defeats in their last eight Tests and anything other than a win in Nottingham could spell trouble for managing director Rob Key and coach Brendon McCullum.The due, already under pressure following England's woeful 4-1 Ashes series loss in Australia, have also faced further flak for their handling of recent curfew breaches by skipper Ben Stokes and teammate Gus Atkinson. England left-arm spinner Shoaib Bashir admitted a wearing pitch would be a worry when it came to a fourth-innings run-chase.'Pressure and excitement'"We've got unbelievable cricketers in this team but we want it to be as little as possible with this wicket deteriorating," he said.Bashir, whose nine wicketless overs Saturday cost just 28 runs added: "We're human, we're obviously going to feel pressure but there's a lot of excitement going into these next two days as well."
