The Kiwi pair’s unbeaten half-century and their big partnership let the hosts down on Friday. Mitchell (81 not out) and Blundell (67 not out) took New Zealand to 318/4 at stumps on the first day.

Captain Ben Stokes got himself out early in the second hour and got out for a boundary. But he also provided the much-needed wicket by sending Young (47) back to the pavilion.
Stokes could have had another wicket, but an outside edge off Mitchell’s bat which he had put down by Joe Root at first slip. The No. 5 batsman made England pay for the miss by hitting a regular boundary.
