A fine performance by England again, good fast bowling from their young pacers but Zimbabwe did fight back better in this innings

It was Johnson in the first innings and for England in the second innings it was Anderson and Harmison with 4 apiec

Hope you liked the Test match and we invite you to carry on watching the ongoing SL v WI match on Wisden CricInfo as we say goodbye for now
