2nd Test: Mitchell stars for New Zealand as England eye fightback
Daryl Mitchell hit a sublime 190 as New Zealand amassed 553 before England started to fight back on a free-scoring second day of the second Test at Trent Bridge.

Tom Blundell joined the run spree with 106 in a 236-run fifth wicket partnership with Mitchell. New Zealand Test debutant Michael Bracewell scored a brisk 49 as New Zealand took control in their bid to level the three-Test series after losing the opener at Lord's by five wickets.

England seamer Matthew Potts denied Mitchell his double hundred by dismissing the number five batsman with a wide, slower delivery.
