Daryl Mitchell’s unbeaten 81 helped New Zealand to 4-318 on the opening day of the second test against England.

Mitchell put on an unbroken stand of 149 with Tom Blundell (67) to blunt England’s attack at Trent Bridge on Friday, just as the hosts looked to be getting on top after putting New Zealand into bat.

Having reduced New Zealand to 4-169, England’s seamers appeared to have justified captain Ben Stokes’s decision to field first.

Henry Nicholls (30) and Devon Conway (46) departed in the space of three overs midway through the second session to catches behind off Ben Stokes and Jimmy Anderson, respectively.
