BIRMINGHAM, England (Reuters) - England lost nine wickets in their second innings on day three in a dramatic batting collapse to put New Zealand on the verge of victory in the second and final test at Edgbaston on Saturday.

England bowled New Zealand out for 388 to start the second innings 85 runs behind but the visiting team's bowlers, led by seamer Matt Henry, reduced the home side to 122-9 at stumps with a slender lead of 37 runs.
