BULAWAYO, Zimbabwe,(APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 28th july,2016) - Left-arm seamer Neil Wagner's aggressive style brought reward on an otherwise unresponsive pitch as New Zealand claimed four scalps on the opening morning of the first Test against Zimbabwe at Queens sports Club on Thursday.
Wagner used his raw pace and intimidating short-pitched bowling to claim the wickets of Chamu Chibhabha and Sean Williams, as Zimbabwe limped into the lunch interval on 49 for four. The hosts lost Brian Chari to the second ball of the day after they had won the toss and elected to bat, but then found stability in an hour-long partnership between Chibhabha and Hamilton Masakadza. It took a brutal spell from Wagner to make the breakthrough, as he used the short ball to have both Chibhabha and Williams caught on the leg side, although replays suggested that the delivery to Williams had come off the batsman's helmet.
