ENG vs ZIM Day 3 highlights, One-off Test: England beats Zimbabwe by an innings and 45 runs

Welcome to Sportstar’s highlights of Day 3 of the one-off Test between England and Zimbabwe, played at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.

Ben Stokes struck twice on his return to Test cricket as England enforced follow-on against Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge on Friday despite a record-breaking century from Brian Bennett.

Zimbabwe was dismissed for just 265 after tea on the second day of the four-day match, exactly 300 runs behind England’s first-innings mammoth 565-6 declared.

England captain Stokes wasted no time in asking Zimbabwe to bat again as he sought to turn the screw in fine conditions in Nottingham.

And at stumps Zimbabwe was 30-2 in its second innings, a deficit of 270 runs.
