England vs Zimbabwe One-Off Test, Day 2, Live Score Updates

England vs Zimbabwe One-Off Test, Day 2, Live Updates: England will be resuming the Day 2 of the ongoing One-Off Test against Zimbabwe from 498/3. Currently, Ollie Pope (169*) and Harry brook (9*) are standing unbeaten at the crease. The number three Pope top-scored with 169 not out at better than a run-a-ball. That England almost made 500 runs in a day, allied to Pope's fourth score of over 150 at this level, emphasised the gulf between the sides in what is Zimbabwe's first Test in England in 22 years.

We are all set for Zimbabwe's response with the bat to get underway. Ben Stokes leads his troops out to the middle. It will be Ben Curran and Brian Bennett to open the innings for the visitors. The debutant, Sam Cook, will open the attack for England. Cook to Bennett with three slips and a gully in place. Here we go!

... SECOND INNINGS ...

Zimbabwe bowled with much greater discipline and control this morning, with Blessing Muzarabani looking the most threatening of the lot and deservedly finishing with three wickets. However, the bulk of the damage had already been done on Day 1. Now, with the bat, Zimbabwe face a mountainous task and will need to show immense resolve and application to withstand England’s relentless pace attack. Back in a bit for their reply.

With the fall of Harry Brook, England have decided to DECLARE! Ben Stokes and Co. believe they have more than enough on the board and now want to have a crack at the Zimbabwean batting unit. After being asked to bat first, the hosts posted a commanding 565, powered by centuries from Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, and Ollie Pope, with Harry Brook adding a brisk fifty to cap off a dominant display.

OUT! BOWLED! Blessing Muzarabani has the last laugh! Back
