Late wickets helped England surge into the ascendancy on day three of the third Test against New Zealand at Headingley.
After Jonny Bairstow's 162 helped the hosts gain an unlikely first-innings lead of 31, New Zealand calmly reached 125-1 to quieten a crowd roused by more England exuberance with the bat.
But the fall of four wickets for 36 runs in the final session lifted the locals once more as the Black Caps closed on 168-5, 137 ahead.
Jamie Overton had Tom Latham caught behind for 76 with the first ball after tea and, immediately after another break - this time for rain - Devon Conway was taken one-handed by Ollie Pope at short leg off Joe Root.
Matthew Potts then claimed the crucial wicket of Kane Williamson, the captain nicking off for 48, and Jack Leach had Henry Nicholls caught and bowled for seven.
Overton earlier fell agonisingly short of a century on debut when he edged Trent Boult to first slip on 97.
However, England, who were staring at a huge first-innings deficit when Bairstow and Overton came together at 56-5 on Friday, added a further 96 from 18 overs as Stuart Broad flogged 42 from 36 balls. They were eventually bowled out for 360 in 67 overs.
The presence of Daryl Mitchell, who is four not out and has three centuries in the series, means New Zealand will maintain some hope of a consolation win, but they will have been the happier side when more rain arrived shortly before the scheduled close.
England's entertainers refuse to be tied down
In the afternoon session, when Latham and Williamson combined for a steady stand of 97, it felt as though New Zealand had been able to bring normality to a series that has thrilled at every turn.
But England, having continued to attack with the bat in the morning, again found ways to keep the momentum of their new era going.
Overton sparked the change by removing Latham. With his next ball he hit Devon Conway on the helmet with a bouncer in a spell which was backed up expertly by Potts.
This England team are capturing the attention of their fans with their aggressive approach and, as wickets fell, those supporters sensed the moment to lift the noise further, encouraged to do so by Stokes, Bairstow and Stuart Broad.
At Trent Bridge in the second Test England chased 299 on the final day, so will not fear a similar target again on the pitch that remains largely good for batting.
In the final period after the rain interruption England took three wickets for 16 runs in 11 overs.
That break, and the tea interval, was convenient in breaking the concentration of both Latham and Conway, while England were helped too by a poor shot from Williamson.
The captain, who has not made a fifty in the series, tried to force Potts off his relentless length with a back-foot drive and got a thin edge through to Bairstow, who followed his innings by standing in as wicketkeeper because of Ben Foakes' sore back.
England had earlier handed the new ball to Leach - the first time they have opened with a spinner in a home Test since 2009 - but it was Potts who removed opener Will Young via a catch at third slip.
Still, the most significant assistance offered by this surface is turn. New Zealand may rue the decision to leave out frontline spinner Ajaz Patel.
