1st Test: Conway, Mitchell Help New Zealand Take Lead Against Fighting Zimbabwe
Queens Sports Club: New Zealand suffered a batting collapse but went on to take a 158-run lead against a fighting Zimbabwe and maintained their upper hand on the second day of the opening Test at the Queens Sports Club here on Thursday.
Starting at the overnight score of 92 for no loss, the BlackCaps lost Will Young (41) without adding any runs to his score but Devon Conway (88), Daryl Mitchell (80) and Henry Nicholls (34) ensured they reached 307 all out, thus taking a 158-run lead as Zimbabwe, who were bundled out for 149 in their first innings, came up with a better bowling performance to halt the tourists' progress and prevented them from taking a massive lead.
But New Zealand further tightened their grip on the match by claiming a couple of wickets in the 13 overs they bowled in the final session of the day, leaving the hosts tottering at 31/2 at stumps on Day 2.
