England batsmen Rory Burns and Dan Lawrence scored battling half-centuries as the hosts recovered from a mid-innings wobble to reach 258-7 against New Zealand on the opening day of the second and final test on Thursday.
Burns fought hard even as wickets fell around him and looked set to reach his fourth test century in front of a boisterous Edgbaston crowd of around 17,000 fans before falling for 81, caught by stand-in skipper Tom Latham off Trent Boult.Boult removed James Bracey with the first ball of his next over to leave England in trouble at 175-6 after they had won the toss and made a solid start with the bat.
Earlier, Burns and fellow opener Dom Sibley ensured that the hosts negotiated the opening session of a home test without the loss of a wicket for the first time since 2011.
