ZIM 1ST

OUT! Caught. Matt Fisher to Tanaka Chivanga. Reverse Swing-In length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to short extra cover, caught by Santner. That's it! New Zealand delivered a dominant bowling performance, dismissing Zimbabwe for just 125 runs. Matt Henry and Zak Foulkes were exceptional in dismantling the Zimbabwean batting order with precision and discipline. Brendon Taylor was the standout player for Zimbabwe, top-scoring with a gritty 44 runs, but he received little support from the rest of the team. In the end, Tafadwa Tsiga contributed some valuable runs. Overall, it was a clinical performance in the field from New Zealand, who will be pleased with their efforts. Stay tuned for New Zealand's response as they look to take firm control of the match.

OUT! Caught. Zak Foulkes to Craig Ervine. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, outside edge to second slip, caught by Young. New Zealand will be the happier side heading into the break, having taken four wickets in the first session. Zak Foulkes made an immediate impact on his debut by claiming two crucial wickets. Zimbabwe is under early pressure, and the scoreboard doesn't accurately reflect their intent. Brendon Taylor is currently at the crease and will need strong support from the other end. Zimbabwe must stabilize their innings and build a solid partnership to set a competitive total. Join us in 40 minutes for what promises to be a pivotal second session.

ZIM 2ND

OUT! Caught. Jacob Duffy to Tanaka Chivanga. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, thick edge in the air uncontrolled to gully, caught by Conway. That's that! New Zealand delivered a dominant performance in the second Test, winning by an innings and 359 runs against Zimbabwe, which secured them the series victory. The Kiwi bowlers were relentless, dismantling Zimbabwe's batting lineup within just the first session of play. The Zimbabwean batters struggled under pressure, collapsing without much resistance.
