Live Cricket Score of Zimbabwe vs New Zealand, 2nd Test
That's it, folks.
Against the run of play, Tom Latham went off the penultimate ball of the day, offering an easy return catch to Shaun Williams. However, New Zealand stayed in command of the competition as they finished on 329 for 2. Kane Williamson, batting 95, is on the verge of becoming the youngest batsman to score Test centuries against in each country.
We'll be back tomorrow with live updates from Day 2 play.
Slow and steady.
With the ball becoming softer and the pitch will become slower, New Zealand batsmen failed to score as freely. However, they assured me that Zimbabwe do not pass over girl near overs. Latham and Williamson made together easily.
Misery continues
Zimbabwe's struggle going on Day 1, as Tom Latham will open his second century of the series. The left-hander has looked little problems while dealing with the Zimbabwe bowlers. To make matters worse, Kane Williamson, did not treat them any better.
Who says crowds do not enjoy Test Cricket.:
Queen's Park Club Bulawayo packed with a crowd of young and old men and women, enjoying a pretty boring day Test cricket. Yes, tat it is a paradox. New Zealand moved past the 200-run mark in another session, where they have managed to score more than 100 runs. Martin Guptill was their only success of the session, and the day before.
It hit at last.
Zimbabwe finally hit as Martin Guptill was trapped leg before wicket. The 169-Run opening stand came to an end, as the right-hander walked back to the pavilion depressed to be missing out on a century.

However, as the subtle variations of drift and turn off the 34-year-old spinner nipped out aggressive opener.

Warner can not pick up vibrations, and rapped on the pads. After some thought, the on-field UMPIRE responded positively Vociferous protests. Warner, however, took the review, but the ball tracker is anticipated that it will knock the stumps and Perera rewarded for its perseverance.
The other end of the spectrum, Smith played with the air of composure shaky batting line-up together. He looked a step down the road, but also occasions wait for the ball to arrive and play his eye line. His colleague, Adam Voges, try to be proactive to reverse sweep. 36-year-old middle-order batsman, then danced down the track and appeared to have eked out Perera inside edge to short leg grabbing the chance with midfielder position.
Voges, however, will be elected by the review, and it was clear replays that missed the edge of the Bat, and Chris Gaffaney forced to overturn its decision. Sri Lanka, however, did not have to wait long to celebrate because Smith Perera prized out of the 20 innings.
Loud calls bat- pad exemption was not granted. However, Angelo Mathews picked up immediately review and there seemed to be faint inside edge. For the second time in three overs, Gaffaney was forced to change its decision.
Voges, to its credit, soaked up the pressure to keep the spin trio Herath, Perera and Lakshan at Sandakan Bay. He had a few nervous moments along the way, however, was able to glue together the innings. Mitchell Marsh looked unsure as he pushed and poked at deliveries only and all off- stump, and then shared a stand of 39 before Voges was named the 33th leg.
He also has not ruled out the on-field umpire, but Sri Lanka opted to review. Since the Marsh did not offer a shot and the ball hitting the stumps, verdict reversed. It should be noted that the referee did not have a great morning. To make matters, Voges tried to reverse sweep off Perera risky and can only hear the death rattle.

Australia might Bring in changes for Last test
Australia vs Sri lanka 3rd test Live cricket streaming
Live cricket Streaming: Australian captain, said that visitors have to ring the changes in order to improve their abysmal record in Asia after they crumbled to a humiliating 229-run defeat against Sri Lanka lose three match Test series 2-0 in Galle on Saturday (Aug. 6).
Australia have now lost eight games in a row in Asia. Their focus was sub par performances put up a poor show by the batsmen: Only Smith scored a fifty so far for this series in Australia, while the likes of Joe Burns Usman Khawaja and are engaged in mediocrity.
In turn, Smith said the Australian think tank should consider bringing in fresh faces to resurrect their floundering fortunes. Shaun Marsh, who made his Test debut in Pallekele century in 2011 and Mosies Henriques, all-round from New South Wales, may be the ultimate test for the playing XI Colombo (SSC):
"Yes, it certainly should be looked at," said Smith. "If there are guys that can play spin well in these conditions, then it's certainly got a chance. It's been too long now, I think it was 15 or 16 years [17] games because we've won the game in the subcontinent, so what we are doing is not working. Thus, some of the changes yeah, that might be a need. "
"The boys are a bit down at the moment and fair enough, it was a tough series so far, we have been outplayed in the test match, the mood is not great at the moment. We were a little disappointed, but we still have plenty to play for Colombo », Smith - said: "We've got to try and prove to ourselves and the public that we can play in those conditions.
"I thought the first innings is very disappointing, I thought that we were a little more proactive, we saw some cleaner shots, some reverse sweeps, guys using their feet to about 180 I thought, probably, around 200 in the last innings of this game or each innings of this game was probably dancing. So, we saw a little active thinking and innovative thinking to find a way today, we just could not do it for a long time, though.
"They've got some quality bowlers in their team that gets the ball run and then a sharp skid as well, I guess, when the ball does not run into the kind of dramatic plays in your mind that you can just play one outdoors. We haven »T with its good enough, and we need to find ways to cover only the ball that does not spin. Most of the time, if it spins, it spins too far, we should not forget that takes up significantly, and if it does not run and I hope it spins past the stumps and the outer edge. "
Sri Lankan trio Rangana Herath, Lakshan Sandakan and Dilruwan Perera combine together to take 35 wickets in the series. On the other hand, Nathan Lyon had modest numbers nine wickets at an average of 30.88. Jon Holland, a slow left-arm bowler Orthodox, who made his Test debut in Galle, ended up with only one wicket in the game.
Smith admitted that Australian spinners failed to verify whether the conditions subcontinent: "They did not get many wickets." Smith said that the spin duo. "We need to find ways to bowl differently to how we run our bowl Australia as well. You look at the Sri Lankan spinners, a subcontinent spinners, they bowl a side seam on the ball, where they can go up and down with their speed and trajectory. The ball reacts differently. One ball to go straight and accelerates out of the wicket, one ball spins, and you do not know which one is which.
"I do not think Bowlers actually know that one either. Australia traditionally, we get taught to get the ball over the top and Australia. I think that you need to get the form to try and make the batsman to drive and shape in the air. However, I think it's exactly the opposite of the subcontinent: they side with the seam too hard to resist, and our spin Bowlers must continue working in that direction. It's a completely different way to the way we bowl bowling in Australia, "he thought.
However, he praised the efforts of Mitchell stârc and Josh Hazlewood, who have joined forces again and again to pursue the procedure at the top of the range.
"I thought all the fast bowlers did a very good job for us in this game, but to be fair, it should not be taking their wickets: It must be our spinners, it gets the job done. Jon Holland's first Test, he was obviously a bit nervous, and you can justify it a little. spinners need to find a way to get wickets and keep the runs dry surfaces. We went more than four an over both Test matches, so we've got to find a way to get wickets spinners these conditions, "Smith said.
Tom Latham's second consecutive ton,
Tom Latham's second consecutive ton aganist Zimbabwe
Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson half-centuries along with Tom Latham's second consecutive ton, New Zealand to gain advantage ahead of the second Test against Zimbabwe on one Bulwayo Saturday (August 6).

In front of a deserted stadium early, Martin Guptill and Tom Latham, New Zealand openers, took command of the proceedings after the visitors elected to Bat. While the tall right-hander hit a medium-paced deliveries through the gaps in the border, the southpaw took some time to settle with the dead bat protection.

Even the team's second session proved more effective than the first. With the breeze blowing across the ground growing stronger in the afternoon, Bowlers found a little support. Damage, or at least in trouble, could have a much better had they Zimbabwe Bowlers apply.
However, they finally managed to strike when Guptill played outside the line of the Tiripano trapped leg before wicket by an inswinging delivery and.

For much of the day, there was no shuffle the crease or uncertain PRODS. New Zealand batsmen played confident strokes, work the ball in the gaps. With the ball coming slowly to the batsman at the wicket willow-wielders rely on playing their shots. Blocks of six by Guptill off Cremer throws to complete 41 more, there has not been any aggressive intentions displayed by visitors.
WILLIAMSON arrival at the crease helped the scoring rate, as New Zealand captain managed to find more scoring opportunities.

The visitors put on 105 runs in the second session, for the loss of a single wicket.
With the pitch getting slower and the ball getting softer, it does not get any easier Williamson and Latham to score freely. They continued to work the ball around gaps and ensured that Zimbabwe does not bowl maiden overs. In the process, both batsmen reached their places. While Latham brought his second century of the series, the captain notched his 21th Test fifty.

Brief Scores: New Zealand 329/2 (Tom Lathan 136, Kane Williamson 95 * Sean Williams 1-15) vs Zimbabwe
Friday 5 August 2016
Knight Riders eye final berth
You have to throw the cricket pundits often hear the phrase peaked too soon 'around with careless ease. In the 2015 World Cup, when India dismantled Pakistan and batted South Africa to represent the pundits were out of their "India peaked too soon cards given against their next meetings of the relatively weak opponents in the West Indies, Ireland, United Arab Emirates, Zimbabwe.
You just can not please everyone, but it is not without reason, this phrase is used so often. New Zealand won seven consecutive matches in their World Cup campaign fizzled out before the semi-final against Pakistan in 1992. In 2015, the Indian Premier League, Kolkata Knight Riders need one victory in the last two games to the lottery. They ended up losing both, and were knocked out of the tournament - these are a few examples:
Chris Gayle in Jamaica Tallawahs may also meet the same fate. They dominated the league stage, won six of their 10 games to get washed out, but is now in danger of getting knocked out and falling just one step short of making it to the final. against loss, Guyana Amazon Warriors would hurt, but if they come second and Trinbago Knight Riders on Friday (5 August), they have to miss a shot at becoming the first team to win the Premier League twice Caribbean.
Dwayne Bravo- led Knight Riders are the defending champions, but they have been inconsistent as well. St Lucia Zouks won their second play-off, careless strokeplay means that they have lost two more wickets, their five-wicket win, even after having met their grasp.
However, think tank will keep the brendon McCullum returned to form. Former New Zealand captain, after a lean run throughout the tournament, could not have chosen a better time to lead the team responsible for throwing a major defeat. He scored an unbeaten 49 to some significant discomfort in his back, before Sunil Narine polished off the chase.
If McCullum key to the Knight Riders, Gale to trump the Tallawahs. In its day, the left-hander could bat the opposition out of the game. He did that earlier in the tournament - hammering an unbeaten 54-ball 108 against the same opposition. However, he scored a duck when the two sides meet next time.
Bravo and Co. are not smart enough to focus only on Gayle: Kumar Sangakkara and Chadwick Walton has been reached with the bat, while Andre Russell's aggression with both Bat and ball can knock down any opposition in a moment.
Knight Riders have the momentum with them. Tallawahs are aggressive, dangerous, power-packed and keep a mental edge over their opponents with a 2-0 record this edition. Knight Riders need to step up the direct touch, Tallawahs are hurting and raring to go. One thing if for sure, on paper, this looks to be gathering contest, but does not match the billing teams. Only time will tell.
when: Jamaica Tallawahs vs Trinbago Knight Riders, 3-second play-off, 8pm local time (5.30 AM IST +1 day)
Where `Warner Park, St Kitts.
Team news:
Jamaica Tallawahs: Even after it lost against Amazon Warriors, Gayle ignored the question of any possible changes. They are likely to field the same XI.
Trinbago Knight Riders: McCullum batted with a lot of discomfort in his back and had to take injections on the field during his throwing. It is very likely that he can not be restored during the collision and the Knight Riders will have to make a change.
What they said.
"It (bowling) was a bit of a concern, as it were three games old. Our Bowlers us capable of winning games. We lost momentum in Florida. We have one more chance to make the final. This (defeat against Guyana Amazon Warriors) is history now, and I hope that we can set things right Firday »: - Chris Gayle, Jamaica Tallawahs captain.
"Specific to this brendon McCullum. He played in the innings was a very bad back incredible. He is a serious pain point in time. He had a tough tournament, but the team he has put in his heart. " - Dwayne Bravo, Trinbago Knight Riders captain.
Chris Gayle in Jamaica Tallawahs may also meet the same fate. They dominated the league stage, won six of their 10 games to get washed out, but is now in danger of getting knocked out and falling just one step short of making it to the final. against loss, Guyana Amazon Warriors would hurt, but if they come second and Trinbago Knight Riders on Friday (5 August), they have to miss a shot at becoming the first team to win the Premier League twice Caribbean.
Dwayne Bravo- led Knight Riders are the defending champions, but they have been inconsistent as well. St Lucia Zouks won their second play-off, careless strokeplay means that they have lost two more wickets, their five-wicket win, even after having met their grasp.
However, think tank will keep the brendon McCullum returned to form. Former New Zealand captain, after a lean run throughout the tournament, could not have chosen a better time to lead the team responsible for throwing a major defeat. He scored an unbeaten 49 to some significant discomfort in his back, before Sunil Narine polished off the chase.
If McCullum key to the Knight Riders, Gale to trump the Tallawahs. In its day, the left-hander could bat the opposition out of the game. He did that earlier in the tournament - hammering an unbeaten 54-ball 108 against the same opposition. However, he scored a duck when the two sides meet next time.
Bravo and Co. are not smart enough to focus only on Gayle: Kumar Sangakkara and Chadwick Walton has been reached with the bat, while Andre Russell's aggression with both Bat and ball can knock down any opposition in a moment.
Knight Riders have the momentum with them. Tallawahs are aggressive, dangerous, power-packed and keep a mental edge over their opponents with a 2-0 record this edition. Knight Riders need to step up the direct touch, Tallawahs are hurting and raring to go. One thing if for sure, on paper, this looks to be gathering contest, but does not match the billing teams. Only time will tell.
