WE LOOK BACK AT THE HEINEKEN CUP FINALS FROM 1990S TO NOUGHTIES

HARRY Brook produced an all-time classic slip catch and Shoaib Bashir collected a career-best haul as England eased to a three-day Test victory against Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge.

Brook leapt high at second slip to pluck a sensational one-handed take off the bowling of an astonished Ben Stokes, blowing a fatal hole in the tourists' resistance.

Zimbabwe, following on, were knocked over for 255 as Bashir claimed six for 81 to leave England celebrating victory by an innings and 45 runs.

A decade ago at the same ground Stokes claimed an equally incredible grab on a memorable Ashes morning in Nottingham, leaving Stuart Broad so awe-struck his reaction quickly went viral on social media.

Stokes took that role this time, throwing his hands to his head in anticipation of Wessly Madhevere's thick edge flying over the cordon for four then staring in disbelief at Brook's moment of magic.

Zimbabwe battled admirably on a day that could easily have seen them dispatched in derisory fashion, Sean Williams making a fluent 88 and Sikandar Raza fighting for 60, but the end result was never in doubt.
