Black Caps control Zimbabwe in second Test

New Zealand are well in control of the second Test against Zimbabwe.

New Zealand took control of the second Test against Zimbabwe on Monday after reducing the hosts to 5-185 at tea on the third day in reply to New Zealand's 4-582 (dec).

Zimbabwe resumed its first innings on 0-55 at Queens Sports Club and reached lunch at 3-107 before losing two key wickets.

Prince Masvaure was first to fall after lunch when he misjudged the length of left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner's delivery to be clean-bowled on 2.

Sean Williams, who scored his maiden Test century in the first Test, followed for 16 - trapped lbw trying to reverse-sweep the legspin of Ish Sodhi.

Craig Ervine was undefeated on 48 while Test newcomer Peter Moor has 25.

Opener Chamu Chibhabha hit 60 before he was removed by Santner before lunch.

New Zealand leads the two-match series after winning the first Test by an innings and 117 runs.
