Preview

The one-off four-day Test match between England and Zimbabwe is set to start on Thursday, May 22, at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. With a win in this game, the hosts England will gear up for their upcoming bigger challenge in the five-match Test series against India, starting next month, from June 20.

England are coming off a crushing 423-run defeat against New Zealand in their last Test appearance, following two consecutive wins. The Three Lions have lost three games out of their last five Tests. A win in this game against Zimbabwe will boost their preparations for the Indian challenge next month.

On the other hand, Zimbabwe recently played a 1-1 drawn Test series against Bangladesh last month. After beating the hosts in the first Test, Zimbabwe lost the second Test by a heavy margin of an innings and 106 runs. So, they will aim to stun the Englishmen with a brilliant performance in this game.
