Daniel Vettori took his 200th wicket as New Zealand celebrated a record victory over Zimbabwe on the second day of the first test on Monday. Zimbabwe, out for 59 in the first innings, followed on 393 runs behind, and were then dismissed for 99 to hand New Zealand victory by an innings and 249 runs.
It was New Zealand's biggest win, surpassing the innings and 185 runs success against Pakistan in Hamilton in 2000-01.
New Zealand declared their first innings closed on their overnight score of 452 for nine, and dismissed Zimbabwe just after lunch.
It was Zimbabwe's second lowest total, beating by five runs the 54 they were bowled out for by South Africa in Cape Town in March.
The home side were dismissed for a second time with eight overs remaining in the day's play. Left-arm spinner Vettori went into the match with 196 wickets and took four for 28. Vettori is the third New Zealander after Richard Hadlee and Chris Cairns to reach 200 test wickets.
