Pitch: 72 - A flat track without grass or other blemish. Batting should be easy until late in the match when the pitch is expected to wear. This will be a good toss to win for the team batting first must have a significant advantage. Chasing runs on the final day or even preserving wickets may not be easy.
Day 1 Weather: 5 - Cloudy, chance of showers
Day 1 starting pitch: 5A - Dry and dusty - normal conditions

The Young Zimbabweans name a talented but very inexperienced team, while England A look a stronger side after strengthening their seam attack.
England A will be keen for a win here as they remain winless after 3 games on tour.
