1st Test: New Zealand have a 'big job' to do against England on day three, says Tom Blundell
Tom Blundell was pleased with his formidable partnership with Daryl Mitchell that put New Zealand in control of the first Test against England but the wicket-keeper batsman said they still have a "big job" to do on day three at Lord's. Blundell (90 not out) and Mitchell (97 not out) added 180 runs for the fifth wicket to revive New Zealand and take a solid 227-run lead on the second day. Wickets tumbled on a frantic first day and in the morning session of day two but world Test champions New Zealand showed resilience with the bat in the afternoon and evening sessions as they fought back and put pressure on the hosts.
