captain Ben Stokes took two quick wickets on his return to Test cricket after Brian Bennett struck Zimbabwe's fastest hundred at Trent Bridge on Friday.

At the time of going to press, Zimbabwe were 254-7 in 57 overs.

Zimbabwe had been outclassed in the field as the home side piled up a mammoth 565-6 before Stokes declared on the second morning of the four-day game. But Bennett, taking advantage of a flat pitch and indifferent bowling, restored some pride for the visitors as they reached tea on 210-5, with the 21-year-old opener unbeaten on 122.

still need a further 206 runs to avoid the follow-on. Stokes, making a comeback after his latest hamstring injury, took two wickets for no runs in 11 balls.
