2.3 to BJ Bennett, it takes just nine balls for Henry to strike. Full on off stump, forcing Bennett to play this time who can manage only an outside edge as the ball shapes away. Second slip had to lunge forward to gobble it up as it was dying down. 1/1 14.1 to NR Welch, the move pays off! Was full around middle and kept going with the angle. Welch looked to drive but got beaten on the inside edge and was hit on the front pad. An appeal for lbw and up goes the finger. Henry finally has his man. 30/2 33.2 to BRM Taylor, a soft dismissal in the end and Henry has his third. Was a length ball outside off, and Taylor looked to force it off the back foot. Ended up chipping it straight to Santner at extra cover. 83/5 37.6 to V Masekesa, Henry picks up his fourth. A length ball around off, moving away just enough to beat the bat and hit the top of off. Masekesa made things worse for himself by playing down the wrong line. 94/8 39.5 to B Muzarabani, That's yet another five-for for Henry. Full and straight. Muzarabani once again backs away, exposing his stumps. He pushes at the ball but fails to connect and loses his middle and leg stump. 100/9 | ||||||||||

17.5 to SC Williams, reward for persistence! First wicket for Foulkes and it's an absolute beauty. Bowls full and just outside off, Williams pushes at it without any feet movement, it's a feeble push and the ball flies off the edge to third slip where Will Young takes a superb catch diving to his right.. 43/3 28.1 to CR Ervine, well, well, well! The last over before lunch and Zimbabwe lose one against the run of play. Ervine has had his struggles outside off this morning but can't resist temptation to drive as Foulkes bowls one full and across and the thick edge is well pouched at second slip.. 67/4 34.1 to Sikandar Raza, the leg-side trap works. Short of length at the body. Raza was moving towards the off side and ends up helping it into the hands of leg slip. Zimbabwe struggling at 83 for 6. 83/6 34.3 to T Gwandu, Gwandu doesn't last long. Foulkes gets two in three balls. This was full and angling towards middle stump. Gwandu was stuck on the crease after the short ball and fails to get his bat down in time. Gets pinged on the back pad low, and the umpire has no doubt whatsoever. 83/7 | ||||||||||

48.5 to TL Chivanga, that's the end of that! The 25-run stand is over as Fischer has his first Test wicket. Chivanga is enticed to drive but there's no feet, just ends up chipping it straight to mid-off. Tame dismissal.. 125/10 | ||||||||||

82.3 to DP Conway, Oh, misjudgment and Conway's off stump has been flattened. Muzarabani gets the short of a good length ball to deck back sharply from just outside off. Conway shoulders arms, and the ball ricochets off his midriff and thuds into off stump. End of a solid knock as the Zimbabwe fielders go up to Conway to shake his hand. He walks back for 153.. 345/3 | ||||||||||

34.6 to WA Young, the leg-stump is flattened! Young looks to fetch the pull from outside off but is cramped for room and is a split-second late on the pull, ends up chopping on.. 162/1 | ||||||||||

52.2 to JA Duffy, Dragged down and that is a super catch from Bennett at short mid wicket. That was dragged down on off, Duffy latches onto the pull and gets a good chunk of it. Bennett reacts quickly and snaps this up to his right. Zimbabwe finally have something to celebrate this morning.. 235/2 | ||||||||||

0.3 to BJ Bennett, Through him! Matt Henry's brilliant series continues! Two deliveries that went away from Bennett, and now he brings in this full delivery that beats Bennett's drive and uproots his middle stump. 0/1 4.1 to BRM Taylor, Edged to second slip! Henry gets his second as Taylor is stuck at the crease thanks to this length ball that just shapes away. Taylor pushes at it late and gets a thick edge and Will Young makes no mistake!. 11/2 | ||||||||||

5.5 to SC Williams, Jacob Duffy has his first Test wicket! Zimbabwe are crashing down like a house of cards! The extra bounce does the trick again. Length ball around middle and leg, Williams was looking to turn it leg side but it goes straight up off the leading edge and Duffy has enough time to coolly settle under that. 24/3 28.1 to TL Chivanga, Edged and snaffled at gully! Duffy's second Test wicket does wrap it up. This time he has kept his foot behind the line and New Zealand win by an innings and 359 runs, their biggest Test win! This was a full ball in the channel outside off, Chivanga looked to fend and the thick edge flew straight to the fielder.. 117/10 | ||||||||||

15.2 to Sikandar Raza, Raza's horror series continues and it is the short ball that does him in again. Banged in short around off stump. Raza is in no position and just about fends at it, and ends up splicing a simple catch to Conway at gully. Zimbabwe are sliding... swiftly.. 54/5 17.5 to TE Tsiga, There's the edge, there's the wicket and Zimbabwe are in tatters. Absolute gem from Foulkes. Gets the length ball to angle in around off stump and then straightens it after pitching. Tsiga plays at it, gets a thick outside edge and Blundell does the rest.. 64/6 21.5 to V Masekesa, The off stump takes a beating and Foulkes has another. Inswinger that lands outside off and shapes back into Masekesa sharply. He plays all around it and the ball goes onto hit the top of off stump. 78/7 23.3 to T Gwandu, The middle stump has been flattened! Foulkes gets the ball to shape back sharply into Gwandu and he's got no answers to that. Goes for an on-the-up drive, is nowhere near it and the ball seams back sharply in between bat and pad to give Foulkes his fourth wicket. 86/8 25.6 to B Muzarabani, Muzarabani's fun is over and Foulkes has five on debut. These are the best-ever figures for a New Zealand bowler on Test debut. Goes short again and Muzarabani has another cross-batted swipe. This time he gets a top-edge and deep square leg takes a simple catch. 98/9 | ||||||||||
| 5 | 0 | 22 | 1 | 4.40 | 21 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
14.5 to CR Ervine, Edged and New Zealand continue to strike. Goes fuller in length outside off stump, inviting Ervine for a drive. He takes the bait and attempts a drive on the up. Can only manage a thick outside edge that is taken neatly by third slip moving to his right. 49/4 | ||||||||||
