England vs New Zealand, 2nd Test, Day 2 Live Updates: Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell will look to carry on from where they left on Day 1 with New Zealand set to resume play on 318 for four on Day 2 of the ongoing second Test at the Trent Bridge in Nottingham. Mitchell’s aggressive 81 not out and an unbeaten 67 from Tom Blundell helped New Zealand from quick blows. Opener Tom Latham and Will Young had earlier given New Zealand a strong start as the pair stitched 84 runs for the opening stand. However, both were dismissing off consecutive deliveries. England skipper Ben Stokes got the first breakthrough by removing Young (70), before James Anderson got the better of the stand-in Kiwi skipper Latham (26) on the first ball of the next over. Devon Conway (46) and incoming Henry Nicholls (30) had also stitched a brisk stand of 77 runs before Stokes and Anderson again struck in quick succession. For England, skipper Ben Stokes and James Anderson took two wickets each, as rest of the bowlers were made to pay for the decision to bowl on a batting-friendly pitch. (LIVE SCORECARD)
