Summary

Jonathan Agnew is joined by England Ashes winner Michael Vaughan, former England all-rounder Vic Marks, and former Zimbabwe fast bowler Henry Olonga for reaction to day one of the Test at Trent Bridge between England and Zimbabwe.

How does Zak Crawley look back on his innings of 124? What will England’s top order look like against India in June? When could an England declaration come? And how does Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza look back at a tough day in the field for his side?

Plus, England’s Sam & Tom Curran talk about a “special” day watching their younger brother Ben play Test cricket for Zimbabwe.
