Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell posted centuries as New Zealand piled the pressure on England on day two of the second Test at Trent Bridge.
The fifth-wicket pair picked up where they left off on the first evening, with Mitchell making it back to back hundreds following his efforts at Lord's and Blundell making amends after falling four short in that game.
The tourists went to lunch on 412 for five, a position of complete control built around Mitchell's undefeated 128 and Blundell's 106.

Jack Leach had Mitchell dropped, Matthew Potts' error taking England's costly tally of missed chances up to five in the match, before finally ending a partnership worth 236.
Blundell,
