refreshSo, that wraps the Test match. Ben Stokes collects the trophy and the English players pose for the cameras. That is all from this game. Hope you all enjoyed the coverage. A lot of cricket is happening around the world so you can catch up on the other side. From here, it's goodbye and cheers!
Ben Stokes, the captain of England says it's good to get the summer off to winning ways. Tells the players know when they walk out there and play for England, every game is important. Clears the air by saying Jacob Bethell is going to come back in the squad. Tells it is hard for any bowlers to bowl when Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett get going like that. Credits how Ollie Pope just continued the momentum and played that way, feels to walk out there and play in that manner is exceptional. Reckons they have got a nice gap between the India series and they will utilise it well. Adds that it was nice to get some overs under the belt, rhythm and everything felt great today. Tells the rest for him is more important now because they have a lot of matches coming up. Mentions injuries are traumatic sometimes and it plays on the mind but feels he has worked hard in the past few weeks, so it's a massive boost. On Shoaib Bashir, Stokes says it was exceptional to see the way he came out and asserted himself into the game with the ball in the 1st innings. Adds that he has got the backing of the dressing room. Mentions that they were a bit slow into the game but thinks it is understandable as they were getting used to the rhythm of Test cricket.
Craig Ervine, the skipper of Zimbabwe says their fans are like no other and thanks them for the incredible support. Tells Day 1 didn't go their way but the players came back brilliantly with the bat and they should be proud of themselves. Reckons it's particularly about the nerves initially but once they played well with consistency there was the reward. Shares that with the overhead conditions, they could have bowled a bit better on Day 1. On Brian Bennett, he says it was a special knock and he'll remember it for a long time. Ends by saying, Zimbabwe cricket is in safe hands and tells it won't take long for them to play against England again.
Shoaib Bashir WINS THE PLAYER OF THE MATCH AWARD. He says it is a nice ground to bowl on when it is spinning and feels it was a clinical performance from all the players. Reckons his year started when he went on loan to Glamorgan and later they had a nice training camp before this match. Shares the backroom staff makes them feel 10 foot tall, it makes the players feel relaxed. Ends by saying they'll have a week off before they start training again.
...PRESENTATION...
Enforcing the Follow-On. Zimbabwe lost kew players at the fag end of Day 2, making things difficult for them to pull things back or give them a chance to make England bat again but they started Day 3 well surprisingly. Ben Curran and Sean Williams negotiated the first hour pretty well, adding 122 runs on the board. However, they lost both in quick succession, putting pressure on the middle order to save them with plenty to trail still. Sikandar Raza played brilliantly as he scored fifty but once he fell it was a procession and eventually a big loss for Zimbabwe. Credit to the English bowlers. The pacers toiled hard to build pressure but it was Shoaib Bashir's six-fer that made the difference. In total, 9 wickets for Shoaib Bashir and undoubtedly he could be the man of the match.
After coming to bat, Zimbabwe's first innings came to a close at 265, courtesy of a disciplined bowling effort from the English attack. The visitors trailed by 300 runs, and England had enforced the follow-on. Brian Bennett led the resistance with a brilliant 139, striking a century at a rapid pace. However, he received limited support from the rest of the batting lineup. Craig Ervine contributed 42, Sean Williams scored 25, and Tafadzwa Tsiga added 22, but none could convert their starts into substantial scores. Shoaib Bashir was the standout bowler for England, claiming 3 wickets. Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson also made significant contributions.
A convincing victory for the hosts! With overcast conditions on Day 1, Craig Ervine didn't hesitate to bowl first and right so but in response to the pitch, he got a flat track which England batters settled without wasting any time. In the first innings, England declared at 565 for 6, after the fall of Harry Brook's wicket. A truly dominant display with three centuries and a half-century, led by Ollie Pope's magnificent 171, Ben Duckett's 140, and Zak Crawley's 124. Brook added a rapid 58 to the total. Blessing Muzarabani was the pick of the Zimbabwean bowlers, claiming three wickets in the form of Joe Root, Ben Stokes, and Harry Brook.
So, Shoaib Bashir wraps up the innings in style. His six-fer was enough to get through the Zimbabwe batting order. England have dominantly started the cricket summer. A one-off Test against Zimbabwe of four days and they have concluded the match in just three days. Total domination.

50.6OUT! Bowled! But there's drama. The bowler has his hands on his head in disbelief - he feels the stumps were missed and the keeper has fluffed a stumping opportunity. Stokes, having seen it all unfold, calmly informs his bowler that it's bowled. Jamie Smith, the keeper, after witnessing Bashir's reaction, perhaps starts to doubt his own keeping abilities. But all of that is put to rest, as it's indeed clean bowled. Just to be sure, the on-field umpires go upstairs to check the replays - everything is perfect. Coming to the delivery - it's nicely tossed up around off, a real tempter. Tafadzwa Tsiga sees the flight and dances down the track for a big swing. But the ball dips, spins, beats the bat, and clips the top of leg stump. After all the confusion, as mentioned earlier, England celebrate.

... Day 3, Session 2 ...
Sikandar Raza, who replaced Williams, has made a promising start, and Zimbabwe will be hoping that he and Ben Curran can forge another significant partnership to further narrow the deficit and potentially force England to bat again. Join us shortly after the lunch break...
England's bowling unit employed various strategies to break the stand, including Stokes' prolonged spell and Tongue's short-pitched deliveries. However, Curran and Williams' determination kept Zimbabwe in the game, narrowing the deficit. England however finally broke the crucial partnership when Sean Williams missed a sweep shot, giving them a much-needed breakthrough.
Session Summary - 25 overs, 111 runs, and 1 wicket. Zimbabwe's fortunes took a dramatic turn thanks to a crucial 122-run partnership between Ben Curran and Sean Williams. The duo's resilience helped Zimbabwe overcome them from a precarious position. Curran's cautious approach complemented Williams' aggressive batting style, making it challenging for England to breach their partnership.

We are all set for the action to begin. The umpires and the players are out in the middle. Sean Williams and Ben Curran will resume their innings for the Zimbabwe. Ben Stokes will start with the ball. Let's play...
Also, the forecast indicates unfavourable conditions, with the possibility of rain, which is undesirable for the match. However, let's cross our fingers to get a full exciting day of cricket. Stay tuned.
On the flip side, Zimbabwe will surely be frustrated by both their bowling and batting displays. Having won the toss and chosen to bowl, their bowlers struggled to create any significant pressure, a theme that sadly carried through the innings. Despite a promising start after losing an early wicket with Brian Bennett and captain Craig Ervine stabilizing the innings, their efforts were cut short when the skipper succumbed to the English spinner. Nevertheless, credit where it’s due as Brian Bennett showcased remarkable grit and emerged as the fastest Zimbabwean to hit a century in Test cricket, single-handedly energizing his team with his explosive stroke play. As we head into the follow-on, the Chevrons’ position is precarious, having lost two early wickets and trailing by 270 runs. While the challenge ahead is formidable, but with a little luck and a shift in momentum, the impossible can become possible, and we have seen miracles happen in this game.
With the match advancing quickly into its third innings, England boasts a formidable 270-run lead. On Day 2, the Three Lions delivered a stunning performance, rolling out the Chevrons for just 265 and enforcing the follow-on. Shoaib Bashir was outstanding, picking up three crucial wickets with his impeccable spins and turns. Meanwhile, debutant Sam Cook marked his presence in red-ball cricket by claiming his first wicket. Although the side of the bowlers faced challenges in dealing with the resilient Brian Bennett, but Josh Tongue dealt with it brilliantly using his short ball tactic. The English side hopes to replicate Day 2's brilliance on this pivotal moving day, aiming to wrap things up swiftly and prevent the opposition from gaining any traction.
A warm welcome to all the cricketing enthusiasts for the buildup of Day 3 of this thrilling four-day Test match between England and Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. As we head into what is often referred as 'Moving Day', the stage is set for another exciting chapter in this encounter. England currently holds a commanding position, but there's plenty of time left for the visitors to stage a comeback.
...DAY 3, SESSION 1...
Asked to follow on with around 45 minutes left before close, Zimbabwe’s second innings got off to a poor start. Centurion Brian Bennett fell cheaply, followed quickly by Craig Ervine, leaving the tourists 270 runs behind and likely with just 7 wickets in hand given Ngarava's situation. The English bowlers will be raring to go on Day 3 after a good night's rest. The hard new ball’s variable bounce posed a real challenge late in the day and promises to test the Zimbabwean batters. The first ball on Day 3 will be bowled at 10 am GMT, but you can join us early for the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!
In a blessing in disguise, Bashir's fingertip injury while attempting a catch brought Ben Stokes into the attack and he made an immediate impact with a couple of quick scalps. While wickets continued to tumble at the other end, Bennett held firm until eventually succumbing to England's short-ball tactic. The tail didn’t offer much resistance, and with Richard Ngarava unable to bat due to a back issue, Zimbabwe were bowled out for 265, conceding a hefty 300-run lead.
In response, Zimbabwe suffered an early blow with Ben Curran falling cheaply but Brian Bennett wasn’t fazed by the early setback. Displaying positive intent and composure, he kept the scoreboard ticking with regular boundaries. His partnerships with Craig Ervine and later Sean Williams offered glimpses of promise, but both stands were cut short just as they started to blossom. Bennett had a slice of fortune when Joe Root dropped him on 89, and he made it count by racing to his second Test century off just 97 balls - the fastest ever by a Zimbabwean in Tests.
End of an eventful day at Trent Bridge! England remain firmly on top, but Zimbabwe showed flickers of resistance with the bat. Despite those brief spells of fight, the visitors still find themselves with their backs against the wall heading into Day 3. Earlier, England resumed their innings at 498 and wasted little time in piling on more runs, stretching the total to 565 before declaring at the end of a brisk fifty from Harry Brook.
