Zimbabwe vs New Zealand, 2nd Test

, New Zealand have firm grip of proceedings at Bulawayo. The start Guptill and Latham provided has put them in a commanding position already and they are set for more. Guptill couldn’t reach three figures but was brilliant while he was at the wicket. Latham though looks set for a big one. With Williamson beside him, the duo will look to build on the partnership and add to Zimbabwe’s misery.

329 - 2

Martin Guptill: We just want to bat once in both Tests here. Very slow and low wicket.

Rather have the team at 329 for 2 than me scoring a hundred

and the team not doing so well."

Martin, Guyana Warriors in the CPL FINAL and needs you there 

Zimbabwe trail by 527 runs with 10 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

Latham 136, Kane 113,

Ross Taylor 124* , BJ Watling 85*

Stumps Day 2.

BJ Watling is a vastly underrated wicketkeeper, IMO.

Nice stat courtesy of ESPN: "A day ahead of his 26th birthday, Kane Williamson became the youngest batsman to score a century against all other Test countries"

By my count, Williamson becomes the 13th player to score a century against the other 9 Test teams:

Gary Kirsten [South Africa] 2002
Steve Waugh [Australia] 2003
Sachin Tendulkar [India] 2004
Rahul Dravid [India] 2004
Marvan Atapattu [Sri Lanka] 2005
Brian Lara [West Indies] 2005
Adam Gilchrist [Australia] 2006
Ricky Ponting [Australia] 2006
Kumar Sangakkara [Sri Lanka] 2007
Mahela Jayawardene [Sri Lanka] 2009
Jacques Kallis [South Africa] 2012
Younis Khan [Pakistan] 2014
Kane Williamson [New Zealand] 2016
