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). With the left-handed opener off the last ball of the day, the visitors went into the stumps at 329 2 as skipper unbeaten on 95.

Quite a boring day cricket, children and adults for many people in Zimbabwe flag company, made their way to the Queen's Sports Club. Given hammering home side getting into the hands of New Zealand, there was not much to cheer the crowd. But they were able to entertain themselves cozying in the sun and breeze.

Bulawayo bright day temperature hovering around 20 degrees Celsius during the lunch break. Climate Although it is a good day cricket, scenes or the side walls of the Queen's Sports Club does not paint a pretty picture this morning. Horse riding armed police drove away the demonstrators, and the fans will be banned national flag, which has become a symbol of protest against the regime of Robert Mugabe #ThisFlag inside the stadium before the break.

Moreover, the eleven men of the land inside the old stadium to put up a display of their lackadaisical effort cricket field. Lack of pace, bounce and swing already negated the threat for many batsmen: With Zimbabwe Pacers do not make or give rise to variations in the rate, it was just a matter of how many New Zealand batsmen will make mistakes.

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.

With the new ball pair Donald Tiripano and Michael Chinouya, part-timer Chamu Chibaba failed to threaten the New Zealand openers, Graeme Cremer brought him as far as 21 persons. Three overs later off spinner John Nyumbu the attack, and there was a spin on the other end as well. The duo managed to bowl, unhealthy conditions, but can unsettle the Duo.

With spin operation, the roles are reversed as batsmen. While Latham kept working the ball around for singles, Guptill batted out 22 dot deliveries out of 26 balls once Cremer Nyumbu came from or around the bowl. While Latham played chanceless innings, Guptill has proposed tough to Peter Moor - by debutante wicketkeeper for 31 more. Barring that, it was easy going couple, as they rode to a comfortable 101 for no loss at lunch. The second team was 50 for a little work, but it comes without a lot of trouble for the visitors.

Post lunch session to offer a pleasant sight cricket. More spectators poured in, carrying the national flags with them. While some kept furling in the breeze, the other wrapped around their lawns while sitting quietly in the stadium. By the end of the second session, Neil Manthorp, said the commentary box that it was a "long after most of the crowd in the stadium witnessed in Zimbabwe," some of the relaxing sunbathing chairs, picnic bags, some on lawns, and some perched on the top of the trees.

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. Auckland batsman walked back disappointed missing out in his fourth Test- 13 th century. 169-Run stand for the first wicket Latham and Guptill of New Zealand's second best opening match against Zimbabwe after, Roger Twose and Craig's 214-run partnership Oakland SPEARMAN 20 years ago.

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 Company Latham, Williamson said that New Zealand does not lose grip of the contest, as the duo remained unbeaten at tea with the scoreboard reading 206 runs to New Zealand's reputation. 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.

Once Zimbabwe took the second new ball, the New Zealand batsmen in their range of strokes. Latham, in particular, work The sweep shot to good effect against the spinners, are said to begin running fast. Century closes with Mark, Williamson showed shades of aggression is coming down the road a few times.
