Skipper pleased but cautious
England captain Paul Collingwood praised his side's resilience after their morale-boosting six-wicket win over New Zealand in Auckland.
England had been criticised for their impotent performances, but responded with a much-improved all-round display to keep the series alive at 2-1.
"There was control, aggression, we got the ball in good areas," he said.
"We have done a lot of talking, we needed to, it's one win but we are not getting carried away."
A 107-run third-wicket partnership between Ian Bell and Kevin Pietersen created a solid foundation for Collingwood to finish off proceedings with a rapid 70 off 50 balls.
The all-rounder also chipped in with three wickets in a vastly improved bowling performance from their previous two matches.
But Collingwood refused to take the plaudits, instead focusing on the contribution of his teammates.
"You look at Stuart Broad and how he has come on under pressure," he said. "But a lot of guys can be proud of themselves.
"The partnership between Bell and Pietersen was fantastic, it was not easy out there. KP played an innings unlike him."
"They (New Zealand) are a very good side, they are not number three in the world for nothing."
New Zealand captain Vettori admitted the loss of early wickets prevented them setting a more formidable total.
He said: "They came at us pretty hard but the thing that has stood out for us in the last couple of games has been our top-order batting and unfortunately we didn't get off to the start we were after on a reasonable wicket.
"Our middle-order, which hasn't had too much of a go in the last few weeks, couldn't really pick up the pieces.
"We were always up against it, but fortunately Jacob Oram got us back into the game and a score of 230 wasn't too bad."
The penultimate match of the five-game series starts in Napier at 2200 GMT on Tuesday.
