Ben Stokes hinted at a return to his best and Brian Bennett struck a sparkling century before England made Zimbabwe follow on on the second day of the one-off Test at Trent Bridge.<\/b><\/p>\n
England captain Stokes, playing for the first time since having surgery on his hamstring, took 2-11 in a captivating spell of only 3.2 overs.<\/p>\n
Opener Bennett delighted the dancing visiting fans in Nottingham with Zimbabwe’s fastest Test hundred, from 97 balls. His 139 was the backbone of the tourists’ 265 all out.<\/p>\n
Off-spinner Shoaib Bashir claimed 3-62 while Josh Tongue, in his first Test for two years, and Sam Cook, on debut, took a wicket each.<\/p>\n
Holding a monstrous lead of 300 in the four-day Test and with Saturday’s forecast looking mixed, England asked Zimbabwe to bat again, bowling for the second time to get 10 overs in before the close.<\/p>\n
Bennett could not repeat his heroics, trapped leg before by Gus Atkinson, while Craig Ervine lobbed Tongue to short leg to leave Zimbabwe 30-2, still 270 behind.<\/p>\n
England earlier declared on 565-6, pushing on from their overnight 498-3.<\/p>\n
Ollie Pope added only two more on Friday morning before edging behind for 171, while Harry Brook made a 48-ball half-century, despite having only nine runs from 27 deliveries.<\/p>\n
Brook whipped three sixes into the leg side before being bowled to give Blessing Muzarabani a third wicket, at which point Stokes called his team in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
