New Zealand Scores 601-3 With Three Centuries Against Zimbabwe

New Zealand dominated the second Test against Zimbabwe at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, finishing Day 2 at 601/3 with a massive 476-run lead in the first innings. Devon Conway, Henry Nicholls, and Rachin Ravindra all scored centuries, marking only the third occasion in Test history where three players from the same team scored over 150 runs in a match. Conway reached his fifth Test century and surpassed 2,000 Test runs after a two-and-a-half-year gap, while Nicholls recorded his tenth century and Ravindra scored his fastest Test century off 104 balls. The unbeaten 256-run partnership between Nicholls and Ravindra further cemented New Zealand's commanding position, putting Zimbabwe under immense pressure on a flat batting pitch. Zimbabwe's bowlers struggled, with three conceding over 100 runs each, and their batting lineup was previously dismantled on Day 1 for 125 runs by New Zealand's pace attack. New Zealand's strong batting and bowling performances put them in a near-unassailable position in the match and series.
