Daryl Mitchell slams 57 versus England, surpasses 1,000 ODI runs
What's the story
New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell was the lone fighter for his side in the second ODI versus England at The Rose Bowl, Southampton.
In a rain-curtailed 34-over match per side, England rode on Liam Livingstone's 95* to post 226/7.
Trent Boult claimed a three-fer in his 100th ODI outing.
In response, the Kiwis fumbled in the run-chase, scoring just 147/10. Mitchell registered a fifty.
Knock
Mitchell stands tall with a gutsy knock
New Zealand were 55/3 before Mitchell and Tom Latham added 56 runs for the fourth wicket.
Reece Topley produced a sensational display with the ball, picking three wickets in quick succession.
Mitchell was then dismissed in the 26th over by Moeen Ali. After smashing Moeen for a six, Mitchell went for another big shot but found the fielder.
He looked solid during his stay.
