Zimbabwe vs New Zealand, 1st Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

That's all we have from the first Test. Zimbabwe will welcome back Brendon Taylor next week as he returns after serving a three-and-a-half year ban. New Zealand might also be looking at a couple of changes because of injury concerns over their seamers. Due to this three-day finish, the teams will now get nearly a week's break between the Tests. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. It's a goodbye from Sagar Chawla on behalf of Praveen Kumar and Nikhil Jadhav.

Mitch Santner | NZ captain: It was a great collective performance. We held our lengths and lines for a period. To get them out for 150 was quite nice. Could've been more clinical with the bat but having a lead is nice. We had good intent (with the bat). We talk about getting partnerships together but we didn't have any significant ones. They bowled well. It's obviously a challenge when it's bouncing like that. To take a lead is obviously nice and we bowled well in the second innings as well. It's always an ugly one when your bowlers go down. I feel for Nathan Smith. He bowled so well in the first innings. We'll have to see how he pulls up but doesn't look great. He's shown his quality for a few years (talking about Matt Henry). He obviously wasn't in the Test team for a bit, behind the big three. Ever since he's come back in, he's done an outstanding job.

Matt Henry | Player of the Match: That's probably the nature of playing international cricket, you're chopping and changing between formats and have to trust the work put in beforehand. It was great the way we could exploit it (helpful conditions) on day one and set the platform. They'll both get checked out today (injury concerns for Nathan Smith and Will O'Rourke). We've got another game here and a big home summer coming up. Being smart with the bodies is really important. Great to be back here playing Test cricket.

Craig Ervine | Zimbabwe captain: I thought there was a lot more application in this Test. There was a fair bit in the wicket on the first day. I thought the guys really did try to grind as much as they could. Unfortunately didn't go our way. Few dodgy decisions there. Nonetheless I think the guys stuck to their guns and had clear plans. I thought the wicket would play a little better than it did. Don't think we've seen as much lateral movement here at Queens for quite a long time. Had to really work on the first day. 250 would've been decent given the conditions. We were 100 short. When we came out on the first day, I thought we could've easily picked up 2 or 3. There was enough in the wicket. Unfortunately it didn't happen. Bowlers started exceptionally well on Day 2 and kind of got us back in the game. We've been on the road for a fair bit and have played quite a few Tests. A fresh mind and fresh body is just as important as putting in the right preparation. We'll take a couple of days off, get back to the drawing board and hopefully we can come back and put in a better performance.

14:46 Local Time, 12:46 GMT, 18:16 IST: A result that wasn't in too much doubt after Zimbabwe were rolled over for just 149 after opting to bat first on the opening day. It was a brave decision to do so on a pitch offering help for the seamers, and Matt Henry - who is lethal with the moving ball - used the conditions to his advantage to return with a six-fer. Zimbabwe were always playing catch-up after that. They did well to fight back and bowl New Zealand out for 307 after they were 158/1 at one point. But the lead of 158 was a substantial one on this pitch and despite losing Nathan Smith to injury, and even Will O'Rourke halfway through the third innings, the visitors weren't made to sweat too much. Hang around, we'll have the presentations shortly..
