New Zealand 230-8 dec Zimbabwe 82-5
New Zealand took a firm grip on the first Test in Hamilton yesterday, reducing Zimbabwe to 82 for 5 when stumps were pulled early on the third day.
The hosts declared their first innings just before lunch at 230 for 8 and their pace bowler Chris Cairns then had Zimbabwe reeling when bad light, followed by rain, ended play seven minutes into the third session of this weather-affected match.
New Zealand took control after the lunch break with Cairns taking 3 for 23 in a fierce spell of hostile fast bowling.
