Bulawayo (Zimbabwe): New Zealand wrapped up an innings victory against Zimbabwe in the first Test in Bulawayo yesterday despite a maiden Test century from Sean Williams (119) finally giving the hosts something to smile about.

New Zealand bowled Zimbabwe out for 295 to win the game by an innings and 117 runs, with left-arm seamer Neil Wagner finishing with eight wickets in the match at Queens Sports Club.
After three days of brutal domination at the hands of the tourists, Williams rose from his sick bed to hit the fastest Test century by a Zimbabwean as he reached three figures in just 106 deliveries. The left-hander had spent the past two days off the field due to illness.
Brief scores
Zimbabwe 164 & 295 (S Williams 119, C Ervine 50; T Boult 4-52, N Wagner 2-62) lost to New Zealand 576-6 decl (R Taylor 173', B Watling 107, T Latham 105)
