Cricket: No change to Black Caps for second test

An unchanged Black Caps side has been named for the second cricket test against Zimbabwe starting on Monday evening our time in Bulawayo.

Coach John Bracewell and skipper Stephen Fleming considered including off-spinner Paul Wiseman as the pitch is expected to be slower, and offer more turn than Harare.

However, the selectors have stuck with the same eleven which embarrassed the home side by an innings and 294 runs in Harare, which means Kyle Mills is once again likely to be 12th man.

Captain Stephen Fleming is poised to be the first New Zealander to reach 6,000 test runs.

Fleming goes into the match with 5,985 runs from his 95 tests.

Play starts at 8pm (NZT).
