England began their home Test summer with a thumping innings-and-45-run win over Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge, wrapping up the match inside three days.

Shoaib Bashir fought off his critics to spin England to an innings victory over Zimbabwe in the first Test of the home summer. The 21-year-old off-spinner took second-innings figures of 6/81 as the travelling side fell to an innings and 45-run defeat in their first match on English soil for 22 years.

Shoaib Bashir's six-wicket haul breaks Zimbabwe's feisty resistance and leads England to victory by an innings and 45 runs inside three days of the one-off Test.
