60.3
W
Matt Henry to Muzarabani, out Caught by Santner!! Matt Henry has blown away Zimbabwe for a paltry total of 149. Fantastic spell, lovely figures by the NZ pacer. Short of a length delivery around middle and leg, shapes away slightly as Muzarabani looks to nudge it away. A leading edge is induced and it flies towards cover. Santner is quick to move across as he completes an impressive diving catch. Six wickets in the innings for Matt Henry! He has been the star for the Blackcaps today. Muzarabani c Santner b Matt Henry 1(8)
60.2
Matt Henry to Muzarabani, no run, yorker length delivery around off, Muzarabani tries to squeeze it out, gets an edge that flies to the fielder at second slip. They are claiming for a catch. But I think this is a bump ball. Was a low full toss that caught the bottom edge and flew to the fielder after bouncing. Not out it is! Even third umpire reckons it

W
Matt Henry to Newman Nyamhuri, out Caught by Will Young!! Five wickets for Henry! He continues to impress in this Test. Goes short, goes quick and the batter gets surprised. Newman Nyamhuri looks to fend it away, it comes off the glove, thuds into the helmet and lobs towards the fielder at slip. Has been a fine spell by Matt Henry. Clearly the pick of the bowlers today. Impeccable lines, impeccable lengths and the results are there to see. Newman Nyamhuri c Will Young b Matt Henry 9(20) [4s-1]
