After scoring a hundred in the first Test at Lord’s, New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell continued his rich form in the on-going second Test against England. Mitchell hit eight limits and two sixes, going undefeated at 81 before blowing stumps at Trent Bridge on Day 1. As well as entertaining the crowd with his brilliant stroke play, Mitchell also hit Jack Leach for a six over long-on, which landed straight into a fan’s glass of beer. The incident occurred in the 56th over of New Zealand’s first innings.
The video was shared by England Cricket Board on their official Instagram handle.
“New drink please,” ECB had captioned the post.
The video shows English pacesetter Matthew Potts, who was deployed at long-on, gesturing to his teammates that the ball ended up in someone’s beer.
The England cricket team’s supporters group, the Barmy Army, later revealed that New Zealand had supplied the fan named Susan with a replacement pint.

New Zealand commanded the procedure after it was first put into bat.
Openers Will Young and Tom Latham had given the Kiwis a good start in the opening session, adding 84 runs for the first wicket.
However, both were sacked from successive deliveries by England captains Ben Stokes and James Anderson respectively.
Henry Nicholls and Devon Conway also added 77 runs for the next wicket before both were dismissed in quick succession.

Like the second innings of the first Test, Mitchell and Tom Blundell came to the rescue of New Zealand on Day 1, adding an unbeaten 149 runs for the fifth wicket.
New Zealand was 318 for four at punches with Mitchell and Blundell hitting 81 and 67 respectively.
