Latham out injured, Santner to lead NZ against Zimbabwe in opening Test
New Zealand captain Tom Latham will miss the opening Test against Zimbabwe with a shoulder injury and Mitch Santner will step in to lead the side, New Zealand Cricket said on the eve of the match beginning in Bulawayo on Wednesday. Latham suffered the injury while fielding during a T20 match for Birmingham in the Vitality Blast earlier this month and has not recovered sufficiently to be included in the playing 11, the NZC said. Latham will stay in Zimbabwe with New Zealand hoping he will be fit for the second test starting on Aug. 7. "It's hugely disappointing for Tom to be missing the first test, as captain but also as an integral part of the team," head coach Rob Walter said. "It's never great when you lose your captain, who's a world-class opening batter and a great team man, but that said we're going to work really hard to have him available for the second Test. "We'll continue to assess and see whether a replacement player is necessary, but at this stage we are hopeful that he'll recover in time." White-ball captain Santner oversaw New Zealand's T20 tri-series victory in Harare where they remained undefeated throughout the five-match series. "Mitch did a wonderful job with the T20 squad in this recent series," Walter said. "He was excellent from a strategy point of view and he has a strong understanding of the game. "Whilst the format is different, he certainly has the respect of the players and will be supported by some highly experienced Test cricketers, so I trust that he's going to do a great job."

Ben Healy takes yellow jersey as Simon Yates wins stage 10 at Tour de France
A monster Bastille Day stage through the Massif Central delivered the fireworks as Healy put in a huge shift in the break to maintain a sizeable gap over the chasing peloton, fighting his way to third on the stage and then counting the seconds until Tadej Pogacar finished. Pogacar put in a late dig as he traded blows with rival Jonas Vingegaard, but when the world champion came in four minutes 51 seconds behind Yates, 4:20 behind Healy, the yellow jersey swapped shoulders with Healy 29 seconds better off going into Tuesday's rest day. Yates profited as he followed Healy's lead for most of the last 20 kilometres, then distanced him on the climb to the finish, but the biggest grin was on the face of the 24-year-old EF Education-EasyPost man who became the fourth Irishman to wear yellow and the first since Stephen Roche in 1987. 'It was insanely tough, it was a battle against myself really,' Healy said. 'I just had to dig deep. My team-mates put in so much work today, Harry (Sweeny) and Alex (Baudin), I really, really wanted to pay them back and I'm happy I could do that in the end. 'I kind of gambled a bit. I had the stage win in the bank and how often do you get the opportunity to put yourself into yellow so I felt I had to take that and really go for it.' With the peloton made to wait an extra 24 hours for their first rest day, race organisers put a monster challenge in their way with eight categorised climbs and 4,500 metres of elevation on the 165km stage from Ennezat – ideal territory for a breakaway. A group of 29 eventually got away but were given little rope until they were whittled down to a more focused group of 17 midway through the stage, with the gap growing sufficiently to give Healy a hope of yellow. 💖💛💖💛💖 BEN IN YELLOW !!! The Irishman takes the leader's jersey on stage 10 after an insane ride from Healy and the squad 🥹 📸: @GettyImages #TDF2025 — EF Pro Cycling (@EFprocycling) July 14, 2025 He got the message, abandoning the ambition of doubling up on his stage six victory and putting all of his efforts into powering on what became a group of just six riders, maintaining the gap to the peloton at more than five-and-a-half minutes almost until the foot of the 3.3km climb to the finish. That was the moment for Yates, the Giro d'Italia winner who came to the Tour to support Vingegaard, to launch his own attack, quickly distancing Healy and holding off Thymen Arensman to win his third career Tour stage and first since 2019 by a margin of nine seconds. 'It's been a long time!' Yates said. 'I was not really expecting any opportunities here. I came fully focused on Jonas and the GC, but the stage played out in a way that I could be here for the stage win and I took it with both hands. 'I'm under no illusions about what we're here for. Even today the main plan was to be there in case something was happening from behind but the gap was too big so I cracked on and went for the stage.' Remco Evenepoel lost six seconds to Pogacar in the final and is now a full minute behind the world champion in third place, 16 seconds clear of fourth-placed Vingegaard.
