  • England won by an innings and 92 runs  
      68.5 Butcher to Friend, OUT: all over! Friend edges Butcher to second
            slip, not being able to smash this away like the previous balls,
            and Zimbabwe although doing better than in the first innings, are
            bundled out for 233, and England use their extra eight overs to
            good

           Butcher ends with five wickets and a hundred in the same game, and
            no doubt is a shoo-in for the Man of the Match award.
           The match also belonged to two other debutants - Anderson, who took
            five wickets on debut to skittle Zimbabwe out in the first
            innings...
           ...and McGrath, who hit a fifty on debut and then took three
            wickets as a part-time medium pacer
           Zimbabwe could not apply themselves in the first innings with the
            bat, and on following on, they fared only a little better, giving
            England a win by an innings an 92 runs.
           Zimbabwe, defeated in three days, will no doubt feel disheartened
            ahead of the Chester-le-Street Test, but they do still have a
            chance to square the series with the win there.
           Man of the Match has now been declared as Mark Butcher.
           The Chester-le-Street Test starts on June 5th, and there is other
            cricket till then too, notably the seven-ODI series between
            Australia and the West Indies, so join us for live coverage of all
            the cricket.
