Watch: Daryl Mitchell's Six Lands Straight Into A Fan's Beer During England vs New Zealand 2nd Test
After scoring a hundred in the first Test at Lord's, New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell continued his rich vein of form in the ongoing second Test against England. Mitchell hit eight boundaries and two sixes, and was batting unbeaten on 81 before stumps were called at Trent Bridge on Day 1. Apart from entertaining the crowd with his brilliant stroke play, Mitchell also hit Jack Leach for a six over long-on, which landed straight into a fan's glass of beer. The incident happened in the 56th over of New Zealand's first innings.

Jack Leach misses chance to turn the game England's way
It is never a good sign when England send their opponents in on a greenish pitch and have to bring their spinner on before lunch, in this latest case Jack Leach for the 20th over at 71 without loss. The nearest Joe Root has ever come to being stroppy in public was when, after sending the opposition in, he had to bring himself on, far too early, because his seamers were not performing.
