Two wickets for Stokes on comeback

BEN Stokes grabbed two comeback wickets as England chipped away at Zimbabwe's resistance on day two at Trent Bridge.

- 

England declared in the morning session with 565 for six on the board and had the tourists 210 for five at tea, 21-year-old opener Brian Bennett hitting back with an excellent 122 not out.

Debutant Sam Cook opened his international account when he had Ben Curran caught at slip in his third over and there were a couple of breakthroughs for spinner Shoaib Bashir.

But it was a finger injury to the latter that opened the door to the best spell of the day.
