  1. We'll have the clip for you very shortly on the first Ben Stokes wicket. It was a beauty.

    Here's Elizabeth Botcherby to take you through the rest of the day.

    From an English perspective, I'd be concerned about the dropped catches and the seamers today.

  3. Tea - Zim 210-5

    Trail by 355

    Ben Stokes is, in fact, human - proven when Brian Bennett drives England's talisman twice for four. Stokes is annoyed but we have to say Bennett has been sensational. He has every shot in the book.

    That is tea. Stokes' two wickets have certainly given England something to cheer.

  4. Zim 206-5

    I'd totally lost track of time. This will be the final over before tea.

  5. Zim 202-5

    Remember Ben Stokes should have had three wickets really. This was a sitter of a drop by Joe Root...

    'It wasn't too difficult!' - Root drops catch at slip to keep Raza at the crease

  6. Zim 202-5

    Ben Stokes only brought himself on when Shoaib Bashir hurt his hand...

    Bashir bloodied by spilled catch

  7. Zim 202-5

    Tafadzwa Tsiga, who scored a pair of 66s against the County XI last week, is Zimbabwe's new batter. Gus Atkinson has the ball right now but all of the action is happening at the other end.

  8. Henry Olonga
    Former Zimbabwe player on Test Match Special

    Nicely bowled.

    Ben Stokes has been threatening ever since he's had the ball in hand and what a delivery to get rid of Wesley Madhevere. Very clever bowling.

    Ben Stokes has bowled outswinger after outswinger. Changed it up, got an edge and rattled the stumps.

    WICKET

    Madhevere b Stokes 0 (Zim 199-5)

    'Nicely bowled!' - Stokes inswinger takes out Madhevere's middle stump

    And another!

    It's outswinger, outswinger, outswinger from Ben Stokes before the inswinger gets the wicket of Wessly Madhevere for a duck.

    Madhevere got an inside edge on it onto his stumps but was undone by the movement. Too good.

  12. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC Chief Cricket Commentator on Test Match Special

    I was a bit worried when Ben Stokes came in because he didn't have any time to loosen up.

    He's done a fine job though.

  13. Zim 199-4

    Bennett 111, Madhevere 0

    Stuart Broad has just said on TV Ben Stokes has "promised to me personally" he won't bowl a spell longer than five overs as he makes his way back from surgery.

    He has bowled 1.2 overs and looks the best of England's bowlers by a mile with Gus Atkinson hit for two more fours by Brian Bennett in this over at the other end.

    Will Stokes be able to stop himself?

  14. How's stat?!

    Rufus Bullough
    CricViz analyst

    In his short spell of just eight balls so far, Stokes is finding 1.6° of swing and 0.8° of seam movement - comfortably the most movement in the air and off the pitch of any pace bowler in the game so far.

  15. Henry Olonga
    Former Zimbabwe player on Test Match Special

    Ben Stokes is delivering seam movement of the highest quality.

  16. Zim 191-4

    Trail by 374

    Ben Stokes looks as slim as I have seen him and he's getting this old ball to swing under perfect blue skies.

    He puffed his cheeks after taking the edge. The months of rehab have been long.

    Ben Stokes has bowled a beautiful ball there. It's similar to the delivery before that got dropped.

    WICKET

    Raza c Smith b Stokes 7 (Zim 187-4)

    Raza dismissed for seven after outside edge caught by wicketkeeper Smith

    Play that! Ben Stokes removes Sikandar Raza with an brutal delivery. It dips in, nips off the pitch and rises to take edge or glove.

    That's why it's so important he is back as a regular bowler for England.

    An historic moment for Brian Bennett who becomes the fastest Zimbabwe cricketer to reach a Test century.

  20. 100 runs

    100 for Brian Bennett

    'Pride of Zimbabwe!' - Bennett hits a century

    Brian Bennett roars with delight after picking another gap. Off comes the helmet before the 21-year-old kisses the badge.

    It's his second Test ton and Zimbabwe's fastest, coming in 97 balls.
