England pegged back free-scoring New Zealand on the opening day of the second Test at Trent Bridge on Friday, with the visitors reaching 195-4 at the tea interval. 

The Kiwis, without Covid-hit captain Kane Williamson, were motoring along at 161-2 at one stage, but England struck twice to remove Henry Nicholls and Devon Conway. Daryl Mitchell was 20 not out at the break, with Tom Blundell unbeaten on seven, but the visitors will be frustrated that none of their batsmen capitalised on good starts.
