England v New Zealand: Hosts struggling after tourists resist at Lord's
England face an uphill task to win the first Test after New Zealand doggedly built an imposing lead on the second day at Lord's.
Including their collapse on Thursday evening, the home side lost their last eight wickets for 49 runs. Instead, New Zealand found two, with Mitchell and Blundell showing all of the patience, determination and good judgement that had previously eluded almost every other batter in the match. With the Test hanging in the balance, Mitchell and Blundell absorbed the pressure, then put the Black Caps in control.
