England vs Zimbabwe, Four-day Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Muzarabani to Brook, out Bowled!! Chopped on and a livid Brook walks off, so does his partner and England have declared. Smile on Muzarabani's face, he has three wickets to show for his efforts, extra bounce on a length ball and Brook was looking to run it down towards third man, doesn't account for the bounce and drags it back onto the off-stump.
