00:00You

00:16Nothing worse when you make your debut that you have to go back and sit in the dressing room and wait for your batsman

00:23Has he taken it? Yes, he has it's almost carbon copy

00:27To the first test match and no surprises the drive

00:34Front foot is fine

00:36One of the changes for New Zealand is no Michael Bracewell at second slip. Oh

00:44My goodness, he's put it down

00:47It would have been carbon copy

00:49And for a second slip, this is one that he will think he could take nine times out of ten

00:55Henry could have been on a hat-trick another beautiful delivery

01:06Oh tested

01:09He's up and running with a boundary not possibly the one could have probably wanted you know wanted one out the middle of the catch dropped

01:16And that's a good shot

01:22Slightly full and nicely played on to the onside that'll do a world of good to welch between link just causes some problems for him at times

01:30He saw the opportunity and went through it with the shot

01:34Was full and he is that put everything behind it was in the air. Yes the dry nation

01:40Saw the width and it deliberately played that just officially over point and cover

01:49There'll be four runs there for brendan taylor

01:55That's a good shot it is a good shout

01:58The fuller length has worked and the persistence over keep using matt henry has worked

02:04Nick waltz in particular and started to just angle it in and get the ball nipping back

02:10This length very full

02:13Let's uh plummet

02:18That's nicely played in the gap

02:21Timed all the way for four

02:23To keep it up

02:26Edge and taken this time

02:28Third time

02:29Third time lucky and a first test wicket on debut for zach folks

02:38Wonderful voting here from zach folks i think

02:41He's uh got something behind the front line here so that is good

02:46But it is the ball moving sharply away this time finds the outside edge

02:51Nice from brendan taylor just delayed the stroke gets himself another boundary

03:09Nice very nice

03:15Brings up the half century for zimbabwe

03:21This will be four runs lovely shot he doesn't even run

03:24There's brendan taylor over pitched by santner

03:28And a beautiful shot by brendan taylor with four seamers

03:33Edge and taken the change in end

03:38It'll probably bring about lunch

03:41smart by new zealand

03:44smart by santner

03:47Final over before the lunch break on day one change in bowling

03:51And zimbabwe lose a wicket it's also their fourth

03:56He's had his struggles just outside that off stump this morning craig irvin oh zimbabwe will be disappointed with that final wicket falling

04:04At the end of the session but that man brendan taylor

04:0933 in

04:11They sure have tino and started off with henry these two wickets and folks just debut two for 11

04:18With a session two

04:24Yeah, zach folks uh was picked up both the left handers

04:31Runs here often that thick outside edge will run to the boundary

04:34Sikandar raza will get off the mark with that

04:42Runs here nicely driven very full on that occasion

04:48A low full toss outside off and then this one

04:51More runs here similar shot

04:57It'll be a long chase for rachan ravendra but won't win that

05:02Identical shots and uh same result

05:05Oh, that's a soft dismissal really he's trying to play just to drive

05:13Not even looking to hit a boundary and has gone straight to that fielder a little bit more than brendan taylor expected

05:19But the plan has worked for new zealand

05:24And for matt henry

05:26He's uh been squared up a little

05:28And the cap

05:32Yeah, he falls to that trap that been set for him

05:37Anything shorter than this he was letting it go, but this has just made it look so perfect

05:43Wonderful bowling here again from zachary folks

05:49Gets the plans right and then he gets the execution

05:58Very good shout straightforward decision for the umpire number seven goes a short stay at the crease for trevor guandu

06:07guandu banged it in short

06:10And then he follows up

06:13With a delivery just full of a good length angling in towards off stump gonna hit about two thirds of the way out

06:25Even better even better shot over pitch from henry

06:29And a run away for four to close the over out eight runs from it good over for zimbabwe

06:33Oh picked him up top of off brilliant bowling again from matt henry

06:42The pitching

06:45Never have a problem with matt henry and going over the line

06:49Yeah, it's a peach

06:55Picked him up as well and matt henry the star of the series has picked up another five wicket bag

07:03When he's angled in and that bit of movement away from the right-hander

07:08Takes it on target to the middle stump

07:13Oh well

07:17Yeah down the ground nicely played

07:21Work for matt henry as well as matt fisher

07:24Neither can get there great way to finish the over

07:33Edge and fortunate runs but runs that the home side will take

07:37It looks like it was just short

07:46Oh guides it away

07:48He'll take those siga

07:50This that you've given it

08:00This is beautifully tucked away

08:03White of us what see guy he's looked good this afternoon really really good 33 not out

08:11In the air and taken

08:12So the partnership comes to an end with 25 added by these two and uh, what do you know?

08:20fisher has his first international wicket

08:24In test match cricket and he gets tanaka chivanga

08:27Zimbabwe have been wrapped inside 49 overs

08:33Yeah always a special moment

08:35That first wicket in any format, but particularly in test match cricket the captain completes the catch

08:42one of 25 a bigger pardon that gets them to 125

08:48to stand out performers brendan taylor coming back into international cricket after yeah just now matt henry let the side out

08:55with five wickets to his name another five first second against zimbabwe

08:58five for 40 and four wickets for from the city end

09:02Oh

09:07Cotton this caught in front of the stumps

09:11Nice dry beautiful full face of the bat conway first boundary for new zealand

09:16Now what's happened here i'm wondering

09:28Oh, he's had a hard flash at that and they say when you flash then you flash hard

09:33He's gone flying over that slipcourt and no chance for them

09:36Yeah

09:40Yeah, the length was wrong allowed him to work that around behind the square on the onside

09:50There you go again too much weight and there's zero protection there so they'll just have to go and fetch the ball

09:5823 for no loss

10:00Yeah

10:03Again this time in front of the square the length is not right ends the over with a boundary 27 for no loss work harder for wickets

10:16That's a terrific delivery still run away for four

10:21That's exquisite another boundary for conway signature stroke from him

10:38Four runs great shot misses his line in length and it's becoming quite a batting paradise here

10:43How do you then breed we're white ball spinners predominantly

10:46Another great shot from will young

10:54That should just get there

10:59So

11:02Oh, it's edged

11:04It'll bring up the 50

11:06chavango think it's uh fortunate

11:09One good ball followed by just a fuller delivery

11:18Hasn't looked as fluent devon conway after lunch

11:26Even with the fielder back just too much time

11:28Maybe

11:34That's going to go to the boundary

11:36It's not the first time in the day we've seen a shot like that beautiful on drive

11:43Runs are coming nice and easy at the moment and that's 50 up for young

11:48What a great start he's provided always but he's on 49 definitely

11:54And now 50

11:5811th test 50

12:04It'll bring up the 100 as well and it's a it's a really wonderful start by these two openers the left and right hand combination

12:12Oh

12:16Oh got a hand to it surely got a hand to it

12:20Sikanda raza at short mid wicket

12:23He'd be hoping those things have to just get stuck in that bomb

12:27This ball maybe could have broken the partnership

12:31Short again and it'll be another boundary

12:34A very expensive over this one it's gone for 14 now and everything's been short and punished

12:42Edge

12:44Not quite taken

12:46Got a feeling it's just bounced ever so

12:49Slightly short of slip

12:51It's a weak hand

12:54I think Irvin is uh right-handed naturally but that's gone off the inside edge

12:59And uh streaky but it is a boundary

13:06And that single will be another half century devon conway

13:0913th 50 for him in test cricket

13:15He has laid the platform along with will young very good innings

13:21And what he's done he's basically done laid the groundwork for batting zimbabwe out of this test match

13:28Shot down the ground elegant from devon conway

13:36And run away for another boundary

13:39This is the first time in a while that was that a bunny

13:46Nice to play nobody at deep point

13:49Another boundary running away for devon conway

13:51This is so good from devon conway we as your wrist spinner inside

14:034 to finish the over brings up the 150 for new zealand for none

14:08Runs

14:16Every over now is producing a boundary in the last half an hour of the day's play

14:24Oh, he's chopped one on right in their final few overs in the days of play

14:30It was full wide he was trying to work it onto the onside

14:33It crashes into the stops zimbabwe have their first moment

14:40Well young will be disappointed because he's thrown it away

14:44He's got probably on forward enough

14:51Or he could play this and take the ceiling mid off with him

14:55He's a tall man duffy he's got good reach these final overs

15:06Yeah gave him a bit of flight just to see if he goes for it he has

15:10That's four second boundary for duffy the end

15:14And they see it off that should be the end of the day's play

15:22Where the 39-0 was bowled at new zealand and their manager a very good 174 for one

15:30their openers have

15:32taken all responsibility and produced 161 run partnership until will young was dismissed for 74 but what a day they've had

15:41new zealand first bowling zimbabwe out for 125 and then

15:46putting some serious runs on with a lead of 49 at the end of day one opening partnership conway and young putting

15:54161 together conway still out there with duffy being the night watchman did a good job in one

16:02right at the end of the day from trevor guandu

16:06apart from that it's uh

16:08in a pretty quiet afternoon for the zimbabwean bowl the day has been zimbabwe won the toss and put 125 all out

16:15with taylor coming back into the side scoring 44 and henry once again getting a fifa against zimbabwe
