ZIM 1ST

OUT! Caught. Matt Henry to Blessing Muzarabani. Back of a length, off stump on the back foot working, leading edge in the air uncontrolled to short extra cover, caught by Santner. Zimbabwe were bowled out for a paltry 149 after a top-order collapse left them reeling early in the innings. Despite a brief resistance from Craig Ervine and Tafadzwa Tsiga, who steadied the innings momentarily with a gritty partnership. Matt Henry was the standout performer, delivering a masterclass in seam bowling to claim a sensational six-wicket haul. He was well supported by Nathan Smith, who chipped in with three crucial wickets, ensuring there was no lower-order recovery. Join us shortly for New Zealand's innings.

A strong opening session for New Zealand, as they made significant strides in breaking through Zimbabwe's top order, claiming four crucial wickets. The visitors have firmly set the tone early, exerting considerable pressure on the hosts. Nick Welch's dismissal just before the lunch interval has left Zimbabwe on the back foot. With the skipper now at the crease, the onus is on him to stabilise the innings, but he will need solid support from the other end.
