Devon Conway attributed their strong start to the second Test against England to a positive mindset which allowed them to bat more aggressively on Friday. Smarting from their five-wicket loss in the series opener at Lord's where they were bundled out for 132 in the first innings, New Zealand were sitting pretty at 318-4 after the opening day's play at Trent Bridge.
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.
Daryl Mitchell led the New Zealand charge as the tourists powered to 318-4 against England by close of play on the first day of the second Test on Friday. Mitchell's aggressive 81 not out and an unbeaten 67 from Tom Blundell made England captain Ben Stokes pay for his decision to bowl first on a flat pitch at Trent Bridge. England's wounds were mostly self-inflicted, with three dropped catches as the bowling and fielding flaws that plagued them in recent months returned with a vengeance.
This was a return of the old England. Some poor fielding added up to a day of missed opportunities that leaves New Zealand in control of the Test.
New Zealand bounced back from defeat at Lord’s by controlling the first day of second Test against England at Trent Bridge.
England put down three catches, while Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell shared an unbroken 149-run stand to see New Zealand on top at 318-4 after day one of the second Test at Trent Bridge.
