After 30 Months, New Zealand Star Devon Conway Finally Hits Another Test Ton, Unlocks Two Milestones
After breaking an over two-year Test century drought, New Zealand opener Devon Conway crossed the milestones of 2,000 Test runs and 5,000 international runs respectively. Conway had a milestone-filled outing during New Zealand's second Test against Zimbabwe at Bulawayo. After his century against Pakistan in January 2023, the left-handed opener reached three figures, scoring 153 in a marathon 245-ball stay at the crease. His knock consisted of 18 four and came at a brisk strike rate of over 62. Now in 29 Tests, Conway has scored 2,081 runs at an average of 39.26, with five centuries and 12 fifties. His best score is 200. In 119 international matches, Conway has scored 5,054 runs at an average of 40.43, with 10 centuries and 27 fifties. His best score is 200. With 9,276 runs in 105 matches and 186 innings, Kane Williamson is the top Test run-getter for NZ at an average of 54.88, with 33 centuries and 37 fifties and a best score of 251. The right-hander holds the crown in international cricket as well, with 19,086 runs in 371 Tests and 441 innings at an average of 48.56, with 48 centuries and 102 fifties. Coming to the match, Zimbabwe won the toss and opted to bat first. A returning Brendan Taylor (44) top-scored as they were skittled out for 125 runs in the first innings, with Matt Henry (5/40) and Zakary Foulkes (4/38) getting the majority of the wickets. At the time of writing, Kiwis have crossed the 400-run mark in the first innings, and eyeing a massive 300-run plus first innings lead.

First Time In 95 Years! 3 Batters Score More Than...
Last Updated: Three batters getting over 150 runs each in an innings is a magnificent milestone achieved by New Zealand; a feat achieved by them for the first time in Test history. The Kiwis set Bulawayo's Queens Sports Club ablaze with some astonishing batting performances against Zimbabwe in the second and last Test of the ongoing 2-match series. The trio of Devon Conway, Henry Nicholls and Rachin Ravindra smashed 150-plus scores each to hand New Zealand a mammoth lead of 476 runs in the first innings of the Test match. Convay scored 153 off 245 deliveries before Blessing Muzarabani knocked over the opener. Henry Nicholls (150*) and Rachin Ravindra (165*) returned unbeaten at stumps as New Zealand posted 601 for 3. A Historic Landmark Three batters getting over 150 runs each in an innings is a magnificent milestone achieved by New Zealand; a feat achieved for the first time in Test history. They are only the third side in the world, after England (in 1938) and India (In 1986), to reach this historic landmark in the longest format of the game. Three Batters With 150-Plus In Same Innings It was another day of one-sided cricket after the Black Caps resumed on 174 for one, already 49 runs ahead. Zimbabwe took an hour to dismiss nightwatchman Jacob Duffy, who made 36. Only one more wicket fell throughout the day, that of Conway. Nicholls was on 64 when Ravindra joined him following Conway's dismissal. Ravindra, a left-hander like the other two centurions, quickly went on the attack and by the end of the day had overtaken his partner. Ravindra reached his century off 104 balls. Despite having a significant lead, stand-in captain Mitchell Santner chose not to declare, allowing Ravindra to add another 65 runs off just 35 balls towards the close. Muzarabani took one for 101 in 24 overs, while Chivanga conceded 94 runs off 17 overs without taking a wicket. Zimbabwe captain Craig Ervine used seven bowlers in a futile attempt to stop the flow of runs on a day when New Zealand scored 427 runs for the loss of two wickets.
