Conway chases fifth ton in test cricket as New Zealand reaches 174-3 against Zimbabwe
BULAWAYO, Zimbabwe (AP) — Devon Conway moved closer to his fifth test hundred on Thursday as New Zealand took firm control of its first cricket test against Zimbabwe in almost nine years. Conway was 87 not out as New Zealand progressed to 174-3 at lunch on Day 2, 25 runs ahead of Zimbabwe's below-par first innings 149. Zimbabwe couldn't have asked for a better start when tall fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani (2-50) had Will Young (41) caught at forward short leg off the first ball after the Black Caps resumed on 92-0. Nick Welch moved timely to his left and grabbed a stunning one-handed catch to dismiss Young before Henry Nicholls (34) and Conway produced a 66-run stand. Both left-handed batters were briefly troubled by pace bowler Newman Nyamhuri, when edges fell short of the fielders behind the wicket, before Conway lifted New Zealand past Zimbabwe's first-innings score with a straight-driven boundary off Nyamhuri. Nicholls, playing his first test since Dec. 2023, completed 3,000 test runs when he reached 27 but gifted his wicket when he slashed Muzarabani straight to Brian Bennett at gully. Sikandar Raza got some turn from the pitch and accounted for Rachin Ravindra (2), when captain Craig Ervine caught him at the second attempt as the lone slip. Conway, who had completed his half-century on Day 1, was fluent with his driving, especially on the off side, bisecting the fielders against anything over-pitched by Zimbabwe's fast bowlers. He has hit 12 fours and will resume with Daryl Mitchell, who is unbeaten on 9. The two-match series is not part of the World Test Championship. ___ AP cricket:

Bombardier's quarterly revenue dips while profits rise
By Dan Catchpole and Aatreyee Dasgupta (Reuters) -Business jet maker Bombardier's reported second-quarter revenue on Thursday that was down slightly, though net income beat analysts' expectations, driven by higher airplane deliveries and orders, and strong demand for parts and repairs. The Canadian company burned through $164 million of free cash during the quarter, far above the roughly $41 million that analysts had expected. The cash burn, a figure closely watched by investors, was largely due to stocking inventory ahead of increased production in the second half of the year. Bombardier capped the second quarter with a $1.7-billion from an unidentified customer for 50 firm orders of its Challenger and Global aircraft, plus a service pact and options for 70 more, taking the value of its backlog to $16.6 billion. The planemaker delivered 36 business jets in the quarter, down from 39 in the year-earlier period. "Demand for our products and services remains strong in traditional business jet markets and continues to garner new opportunities in defense markets," CEO Eric Martel said in a statement. At the Paris Airshow in June, he added, "Bombardier Defense deepened existing ties, forged new ones and secured strategic orders." But the company continues to contend with the economic uncertainty of U.S. President Donald Trump's aggressive use of tariffs. In early July, Trump called for a 35% tariff on imports from Canada, set to begin from Friday. Much of Bombardier's supply chain and its aircraft are exempt from tariffs under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), but Trump has not made a final decision on the tariffs. The Montreal-based company posted quarterly revenue of $2 billion, down from $2.2 billion a year ago. On an adjusted basis, it earned $1.11 a share in the second quarter, versus $1.04 a year earlier, to beat analysts' average projection of $1.06.
