7:15 PM

New Zealand is 190 for four at stumps on day one of the Boxing Day cricket test against Zimbabwe.

Nathan Astle has re-discovered some form hitting an unbeaten 56 while Craig McMillan is not out 20.

Opener Mark Richardson was run out for 75 while captain Stephen Fleming made 22 before he too was the victim of a run out.

It was slow going for the Black Caps on the opening day, scoring at just over two runs an over.
