ZIM vs NZ Live Cricket Score

2.3 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Matt Henry strikes early for New Zealand. Keeps the line around the off stump, and the length is a yard behind full. Brian Bennett is forced to get on the front foot and play at it. Tries to block, but the ball lands and then nips away from the batter, taking a thick outside edge. It travels low towards the second slip, where Will Young gets low and scoops the ball before the grass in front of him. Brian Bennett goes for a duck. Zimbabwe are 1/1.  1/1

33.2 OUT! CAUGHT! A soft dismissal! A big blow for Zimbabwe as the promising-looking Taylor falls. This is on a back of a length, on off, Brendan Taylor gets on his toes to punch it away on the off side. The ball holds in the wicket and Brendan is through his shot early. Ends up hitting it a lot straighter and spoons it tamely to Mitchell Santner at short mid off, who takes a dolly. Henry has his third wicket. Taylor falls for 44 (107). Zimbabwe are now 83/5.  83/5

14.1 OUT! LBW! TRAPPED IN FRONT! A ripper of a delivery from Matt Henry and he gets his second wicket of the morning! Henry spears it full and keeps it in front of the stumps. Gets it to cut back in a touch off the deck. Nick Welch is hurried by the pace and looks to push it straight, but plays for the initial line and is beaten on the inside edge, before the ball thuds on the front pad. A confident appeal in unison by the Kiwi players and the umpire instantly raises his finger up. That looks plumb in front. Nick Welch is disappointed with himself and departs on 11 (31). Zimbabwe are 30/2.  30/2

17.5 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! This was coming! Third time's the charm for Zakary Foulkes! Will Young makes no mistake this time and Foulkes has his first Test wicket. Bowled from wide of the crease, honing in on the off stump, on a length, Williams gets his hands out in front and does not move his feet at all. Does not account for the movement and the ball straightens off the deck to catch the outside edge. It goes at knee height towards the slip cordon. Will Young at second slip dives to his right in front of Daryl Mitchell at first slip and snaffles it. Sean Williams goes for 11 (13) and Zimbabwe further slip down to 43/3.  43/3

28.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Craig Ervine falls right on the stroke of Lunch! The move to call upon Zakary Foulkes for the last over before the break has worked like a charm for Mitchell Santner and New Zealand. From around the wicket, Foulkes serves it full in length, around the sixth stump line. Ervine is better off leaving the ball alone but ends up pushing at the ball with hard hands. Looks to drive it down the ground but there is just enough movement off the deck to catch the outside edge. It goes straight into the waiting hands of Will Young at second slip, who takes it at thigh height. Third catch for Young in the game already, and Ervine falls for 7 (28). That will be LUNCH with Zimbabwe 67/4.  67/4

34.1 OUT! CAUGHT! New Zealand go bang, bang! Sikandar Raza falls into the trap! On a back of a length, angled into the hips from over the wicket, Raza hops and gets inside the line to glance it towards deep fine leg. Fails to keep the shot along the ground and plays it straight into the hands of leg gully where Rachin Ravindra pouches it around his right thigh. Foulkes on his Test debut has now 3 wickets. Raza departs for 5 (14). Zimbabwe are now 83/6.  83/6

34.3 OUT! PLUMB IN FRONT! Two in the over for Zakary Foulkes and Zimbabwe are falling apart here. Slanting into the right-hander, on the fuller side, on off and middle, Trevor presses forward and ends up defending outside the line of the ball. Presents a straight bat but the ball sneaks past the inside edge to hit him on the back pad. The Kiwis go up in unison and the finger is raised. Trevor Gwandu goes for a silver duck and Zimbabwe are reduced to 83/7.  83/7

38 OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! An absolute seed by Matt Henry! This angles into the right-hander, on a good length, Vincent Masekesa just brings his bat out in front of his body to cover the line without any footwork. The ball straightens off the deck to go past the outside edge and uproot the off pole. Fourth wicket for Henry. Vincent falls for 1 (9). Zimbabwe are now 94/8.  94/8

39.5 OUT! TIMBER! FIVE WICKETS FOR HENRY! Back-to-back first inning five-wicket hauls for the Kiwi pacer. Attacking the stumps, fuller in length, Blessing Muzarabani stays leg side of the ball and looks to cover the line of the ball. Gets beaten all ends up as the ball nips away to go past the outside edge and leaves the stumps in a mess. From 83/4, Zimbabwe have slipped to 100/9.  100/9

48.5 OUT! GONE! CAUGHT! A special moment for debutant Matthew Fisher as he registers his maiden Test wicket! Hurls it full and in the channel of the off pole, getting a late away movement through the air. Tanaka Chivanga gets half-forward and tries to work that through covers, but fails to keep it along the ground, and ends up chipping it off the toe-end of the bat. The ball goes flat and dips towards Mitchell Santner at mid off. The Kiwi skipper gets low and snaffles the catch nicely. ZIMBABWE HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 125. And that will be an early Tea on Day 1.  125/10

82.3 OUT! BOWLED! Devon Conway's scratchy stay against the new ball comes to an end, but he has done his job quite well. A couple of Zimbabwean players come towards him to appreciate his knock as he makes his way to the dressing room. Blessing hits the deck hard, keeping it on the off stump line. The ball kicks off the deck and jags back very sharply into the southpaw. Devon Conway shapes to leave it alone, but the ball deflects off his midriff and crashes back into the stumps. Blessing Muzarabani gets his first wicket of the match as he breaks the 110-run stand for the third wicket. Devon Conway departs for a marathon 153 (245) and New Zealand are 345/3, leading by 220 runs.  345/3

35 OUT! CHOPPED ON! Trevor Gwandu breaks through for Zimbabwe! Not the best of deliveries but Trevor and Zimbabwe will take it with both hands. This is banged in short but not high enough to trouble the batter and a bit of width on off. Young is better off slapping it away with a horizontal bat on the off side but Will swivels and opts to drag the pull in front of square on the leg side. Plays a bit in front of his body and drags it back onto the stumps off an inside edge. Young falls for 74 (101). New Zealand are 162/1, leading by 37 runs.  162/1

52.2 OUT! TAKEN! An innocuous delivery gives Zimbabwe the breakthrough! A real drag down from Vincent, around off, Jacob Duffy is deep in the crease to put this away. Sets up for the pull but neither does he get the elevation, nor does he manage to hit it wide enough. Brian Bennett at mid-wicket takes a sharp catch to his right at shoulder height. Duffy departs for 36 (55). New Zealand are now 235/2 with a lead of 110 runs.  235/2

0.3 OUT! BOWLED! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Perfect start for New Zealand and Matt Henry! This is speared in on a fullish length, pitching around off and middle. It skids and jags back into the batter off the deck. Brian Bennett without much foot movement, pushes at the delivery and plays for the initial line. The ball cuts back in and beats the inside edge to smash back into the stumps behind. This is Matt Henry's 15th wicket in this series. Brian Bennett departs for a three-ball duck and Zimbabwe are 0/1.  0/1

4.1 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Zimbabwe lose a big wicket as Brendan Taylor walks back early. Make that 16 wickets for Henry in this series! Henry hits the deck hard and gets the ball to shape away from the batter, off the deck, around off. Brendan Taylor pushes at the delivery on the back foot and plays that away from the body. Only manages to get a thick outside edge. The ball dips in front of Will Young at second slip and he takes a fine catch by crouching low. Brendan Taylor departs on 7 (12) and Zimbabwe are 11/2.  11/2

5.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Special moment for Jacob Duffy as he gets his maiden Test wicket! He is all smiles and is engulfed by all the Kiwi players. Duffy comes from around-the-wicket-angle, and slams the deck hard and angles the ball on the leg stump line, with some extra kick in it. Sean Williams gets on the back foot and shapes to steer it towards the leg side, but gets a leading edge. The ball is lobbed straight up in front of the bowler. Jacob Duffy does the rest and takes a comfortable reverse cup catch. Sean Williams goes for 9 (6) and Zimbabwe are in deep trouble as they slip down to 24/3.  24/3

14.5 OUT! TAKEN! Matthew Fisher strikes! An action replay of Craig Ervine's first innings dismissal. Fisher comes from around the wicket and makes the batter play with the line being just outside the off stump. Ervine pushes at the ball with hard hands as he looks to play it down the ground with a straight bat. Gets an outside edge that travels quickly to the right of third slip. Zakary Foulkes is quick to put the dive and snaffles it in front of the man at second slip. Ervine departs for 17 (31). Zimbabwe are now 49/4.  49/4

15.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Sikandar Raza falls to the short ball for the second time in the game! Zimbabwe slip into further trouble. Zakary bends his back and goes into the surface, over middle, Raza hops to get on top of the bounce but gets into a tangle. Ends up fending it off whilst being airborne. Spoons an easy catch to gully, where Devon Conway does the rest. Sikandar Raza departs on 4 (2) and Zimbabwe are 54/5.  54/5

17.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Zakary Foulkes finds the edge this time with an absolute beauty! Angled in from over the wicket, on the off stump, on a good length, Tsiga is forced into playing it due to the angle. The ball straightens off the deck, enough to catch the outside edge. The keeper, Tom Blundell, takes a simple catch to his right. Foulkes has his 2nd wicket and Zimbabwe are now 64/6.  64/6

21.5 OUT! CASTLED! It was only a matter of time! Vincent Masekesa did not look comfortable at all against Zakary Foulkes. This nips back in off the deck, fuller in length, around the off stump, Vincent gets on the front foot and sets up to drive it down the ground. Does not quite get his body close to the line of the ball and just goes for the drive with his hands. The ball cuts back to go past the inside edge and goes through the big gap between the bat and the pad to clatter the off pole. Vincent Masekesa goes for 4 (14) and Zimbabwe slip down to 78/7.  78/7

23.3 OUT! TIMBER! Zakary Foulkes has his fourth wicket! The debutant is now just a wicket away from what will be his maiden five-wicket haul in the format. Pitched up, moving back in off the deck, Gwandu leans ahead and goes for the big drive. Leaves a yawning gap between the bat and the pad. The ball nips back in and goes past the inside edge to uproot the middle pole.  86/8

26 OUT! CAUGHT! Five wickets for Zakary Foulkes on Test debut! Foulkes goes into the surface, over middle, Blessing clears his front leg and tries to take on the short ball. The ball gets big on him and a top edge is found. It gets skied towards deep square leg where Mitchell Santner runs to his left and takes a safe catch. Foulkes has 9 wickets in the game and these are now the best figures for a debutant from New Zealand on Test debut.  98/9

28.1 OUT! TAKEN! Jacob Duffy's foot is behind the line this time and it is all over for Zimbabwe! Bowls it on a good length, around the off stump, Tanaka jabs at the ball with hard hands as he looks to go back past the bowler. Gets an outside edge that goes quickly to gully. Devon Conway gets both hands over his head and takes a sharp catch at gully. Zimbabwe have been bowled out for 117. New Zealand win by an innings and 359 runs!  117/10
