Zimbabwe won toss and chose to bat....Brendan Taylor back for zim.....Bennett gone early 1-1

[andy]

Welch dropped first ball!!! Should be 1-2 and Henry on a hatrick

[Arthur Crabtree]

Presume that's not Surrey's Matt Fisher. Zak Foulkes is new to me too.

Nice to see there's still a Daryl amoung the private school roll call of middle class English first names.

Welch goes just before drinks....33-2 Taylor looking solid though, Henry has the ball on a string

NZ flying 365-3 leading by 240 runs....Conway made 153, nicholls 77 not out.....quite amusing the commentators keep asking how many NZ need to make the game safe.....240 run lead game is already safe!

[Arthur Crabtree]

It's only day 2!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Hasn't turned out a good toss to win for Zimbabwe.

Conway 153
Nicholls 150*

This has to be one of the most one sided victories in the history of test cricket? An innings and 350 runs , with the one team losing only three wickets.
