00:20Beauty's unique that there's a noise. Yeah an excellent start from Zimbabwe this morning
00:26Muzurbani set the tone and now Oli Pope's thinking have I hit that keep rolling nice and slow
00:34like yeah freeze it I can see ball is next to the bed there is no gap between ball and bed
00:41so satisfied stand by
00:42beautiful drive through extra cover nailed for four
00:54lovely back cut
01:04peppers that boundary it really does it went at pace into the boundary rope
01:10down the pitch
01:12and over mid off
01:14and a couple of bounces England on the charge Brook on the charge
01:18pulled hard whereas Joe Root found fine leg Harry Brook hits it over fine leg for six
01:30and again and six more over fine leg
01:37uppercut third man is there can he get there
01:46no
01:48it goes past him the question is is it four or six and should he have caught it
01:54cut seriously hard
01:59boy
02:04well that's gone high into the air feel the circles
02:10and takes a good catch right out of the sun that
02:14clipped away in the air
02:19and into
02:21big vacant space in front of square on the leg side
02:25just does that with so much ease does Smith
02:29edge and down
02:34good line good length from Chivanga
02:39well this is pulled high into the air and as is most of the shots Harry Brook has played in that area
02:49another six that brings up brilliant half century for Harry Brook just off 48 deliveries
02:58well I apologize Michael Atherton
03:02but he is chasing you down at the moment is Harry Brook
03:05I just look quizzically I had no idea who had scored the most runs here but I just
03:10didn't think Harry Brook had played enough test cricket here
03:14gone
03:16Muzora Barney second
03:19wicket this morning
03:21well maybe not impossible to bow that just run it back onto the inside edge
03:27but
03:28pleasure for Muzora Barney who has bowled well this morning
03:31oh
03:33inside edge
03:36might run away for four fine leg is wide
03:41length
03:46continued to be full the inside half of the bat this time
03:50it's back-to-back boundaries for Zimbabwe
03:53swing on offer
03:59Bennett absolutely climbed into a bit of wave
04:03lovely shot
04:08from Bennis
04:10to a flyer
04:1216 now
04:14flashed away and flashed away for another boundary that was a
04:20a low chance ish in the slip cordon but Crawley really had
04:26not much of an opportunity to take a blinder that went really quickly 22 without loss
04:33well
04:35he's found that off the outside edge of the bats down way to third man
04:40another boundary for him as he
04:43continues a very quick start
04:45catch
04:48catch
04:49yes
04:50beautiful line in length
04:51what a moment for Sam Cooke
04:53he has waited so long for his England opportunity
04:56he's gone for a few in his first two
04:58he has his first test victim
05:00well it's a bit outside edgy but Irvine was committed to the shot
05:08exactly what you were saying Alistair Campbell
05:10Zimbabwe have got to come out and look to be positive
05:12score runs put the bowlers under pressure
05:18that's lovely
05:20you think positive you tend to move your feet in the same manner
05:24that was pretty emphatic
05:26oh my word
05:33I think there was an inside edge there it was perilously close to the leg stump in any event
05:38it came back rather sharply
05:45on cue
05:47a juicy full toss to start what did you say that's two wickets at 151
05:56that one just hurried Irvine
06:07very good from Josh Tom who beats the outside edge to end
06:12pretty good session
06:17beautiful shot
06:18played off the back foot
06:20a little bit of width
06:23calmly put away through the offside
06:25finished that over
06:30it's costing four
06:32he's bowling at the left-hander
06:33the missed field brings the right-hander on strike
06:36and before more powerfully struck through the offside Gus Atkinson can't get round
06:51four runs streaky
06:55good bit of bowling
06:57yeah
06:58yeah
06:59oh chance
07:00might have got him
07:01has carried to Harry Brook
07:03really good bit of bowling
07:04finds the right length
07:05they're applying some pressure now
07:09that will release some of it
07:11it's a sumptuous drive
07:13lovely from Bennett
07:15and that takes him through to 50
07:17an extremely well-made 50
07:19in quick time
07:20from 56 balls
07:26that'll probably be four because the outfield is quick
07:28and Williams has timed that nicely
07:30in fact perfectly
07:35pulled away man out there but beautifully controlled and placed
07:40lovely from Brian Bennett
07:42yeah controlled was the key word there from Ian Ward
07:44there from Ian Ward
07:48well that's lovely
07:50saw a lovely controlled pull shot
07:52from Brian Bennett
07:53earlier on in the over
07:55to the third ball
07:59edge
08:00oh no
08:02Ben Stokes normally has that slip region
08:05absolutely packed
08:11tucked away
08:12across the square
08:14the practice pitches
08:15the parched
08:16outfield
08:18and away for four
08:24it's through again
08:27ain't chasing that on this outfield
08:33well that's away more convincingly and there was nothing on this occasion that that Tong could do
08:38foundry
08:40slowly rectified that
08:42oh
08:44sweeps and sweeps well and hard and four so a good over for Zimbabwe
08:49150 comes up 151 for two they're scoring at a good rate just a tick under five
08:56who sweeps and sweeps and sweeps powerfully
09:02yeah I was waiting for that he's uh tried a few hasn't really executed thus far but that's one of his go-to shots
09:11oh got him
09:13beaten him on the inside edge Bashir from round the wicket
09:16a good shot from Bennett through the offside again
09:23in the outfield very quick here at Trent Bridge behind Leach and Vaughan young Archie Vaughan
09:31so he comes here and that rise in confidence knowing that he's the first choice and has the full faith of his captain must help as well as Bennett
09:40goes to 88 12 away
09:43catch
09:45oh now
09:49oh no down it goes
09:52Joe Root
09:54it was a beautiful delivery from Ben Stokes
09:58angled in curved away took the edge and looked a very straightforward chance that Root
10:04lovely
10:10lovely
10:12really nice this
10:14up on his toes on top of the bounds punching it away
10:21more runs here down the ground
10:24beautiful piece of timing and another boundary and Brian Bennett moves to 99
10:29huge cry of delight for Brian Bennett as he brings up a second test match 100 what a moment for this young man
10:42what a delivery that is an absolute snorter from the England captain Smith makes no mistake
10:52and that was a fantastic extra cover drive
11:00from Bennett
11:03oh got him there it was out swinger out swinger out swinger in swinger
11:09brian blessed on the off drive
11:28the off-drive
11:33In the air off the glove hopefully his foot is behind the line he looks back at the but at the umpire
11:46It's been worth the wait an absolute beauty
11:53Again
11:55Doesn't there's a future in that shot. I've got to be honest
12:11Gracious or beautifully bowed now is that pad first or bats
12:16Original decision auto impact in line
12:24We got sitting first he was in trouble absolutely in trouble kumar dhamisena might have thought it was back first once it wasn't that was
12:32absolutely plumb
12:36Bolden
12:38Full and straight
12:40Was rovani may be expecting the bouncer Gus Atkinson does the job
12:47England with a nice rest in front of them that they'll let come back out and have another ball
12:54Certainly not in the the DNA of Ben Stokes
12:57to
12:59Hang about
13:01Oh close really close big appeal and out
13:09Ben it's gone
13:11Ball tracking is coming up
13:13original decision out
13:15Pitching outside off in your screen make a signal please
13:19near a view lost
13:21three reds
13:23I think he's outside the line there he's standing on off stump and I reckon he may have been here outside the line
13:33Keep rolling yeah roll back roll back
13:38Now roll forward and freeze
13:40Yeah, there is a spike when ball is next to the bed no gap between ball and bag so satisfied
13:45Well apart from hitting it and being way outside the line
13:53In the air straight to olipope would you believe it the very next delivery
13:59Tong again looks back at the umpire to make sure his foot's okay
14:02It's gone very fine and straight away off the mark with a boundary
14:18Whipped flipped away beautifully that'll be another boundary an eventful over
14:2615 for two
14:28Didn't see that at all fine leg it's gone very fine of him
14:40Last one didn't go for four I reckon this one will
14:53Solid block from current and that brings to a close day two
