New Zealand are firmly in the driving seat heading into day three of the first Test against England at Lord's after a brilliant 180-run partnership between Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell rescued the visitors from 56-4 to 263-4.
After collapsing from 92-2 to 116-7 on day one, England were only able to add another 25 runs on day two as they earned a slender nine-run first-innings lead. Tim Southee and Trent Boult quickly wrapped up the innings inside just seven overs, with Stuart Broad, Ben Foakes and Matt Parkinson all out for single-figure scores.
In response, England once again picked up early wickets with the new ball, with James Anderson and Matty Potts starring. Anderson began proceedings with the wicket of Will Young in his third over, before Potts dismissed Kane Williamson and Tom Latham before lunch to leave New Zealand 38-3.
