Zimbabwe close on 30-2 following on - report
Stokes finds pace, movement and bounce to pick up two wickets
Three wickets for Bashir; Cook strikes on debut
England declare on 565-5 after Brook crashes rapid 58

Former Zimbabwe player on Test Match Special
I agree with everything that Vaughan said. Everything revolved around Brian Bennett. England did what they needed to do, they're a slick unit but they did everything that was required of them. They put up a good total and were comfortable with their lead.
Brian Bennett's innings was so calm, he wasn't phased at all. He should've been playing for England, he was bazballing them.
But the story of Zimbabwe's innings was 21-year-old opener Brian Bennett, who lit up Trent Bridge with his knock of 139 (143).

Ben Stokes was also among the wickets, striking twice in quick succession on the stroke of tea...

England have had a good day. When you get 12 wickets you have had a really good day. Harry Brook was smoking it to all parts but I liked the declaration. They could have batted on.
Bennett's was a special, special innings. The gulf in class has shown again but I ired the fight shown by Zimbabwe.
We will see a lot more from Bennett. The next generation need a hero and just maybe...
It feels like a long time ago but England were batting at the start of day two.
They resumed on 498-3 and lost three wickets before declaring on 565-6, Harry Brook doing the bulk of the scoring with a flurry of boundaries.

England have won the toss and are fielding.
Williams 22, Curran 4
Sean Williams gives Zimbabwe's fans something to cheer at the end of the day. A pair of boundaries and 13 off the over.
Zimbabwe close on 30-2, trailing by 270 runs after being forced to follow on.
Williams will resume on day three on 22 (11). Ben Curran is 4 (26).
A couple of singles added to the total and we will get another over, bowled by Josh Tongue.
Here comes Shoaib Bashir. Given the speed he rattles through his deliveries, we'll probably get two overs in before close.

Is putting Pope in at short leg the 2025 edition of turning the bails around?
Laurence, Burton upon Trent
Sean Williams is off the mark immediately with a boundary. He weathers a nasty short ball from Tongue and finishes the over with another boundary.
No nightwatch in sight for Zimbabwe.

That was not a vicious delivery. It just ballooned and it was a very straight forward catch for Ollie Pope. That's very satisfying for all involved on the England side.
It's proving to be a much more difficult second innings for Zimbabwe.

He made the breakthrough in this second innings, removing Brian Bennett for one.

We won't forget Brian Bennett's first innings. Now he is out, I think he should be allowed at least a shandy tonight.

Sam Cook has certainly been more consistent to start off this spell.
