Pitch: 72
Toss: England A
England A made the most of good batting conditions, with John Crawley piling on a massive unbeaten 240*.
The Young Zimbabweans replied strongly, batting out the remaining time to finish 8 wickets down and 30 runs short of England A's first innings total.
Gavin Rennie was unlucky to be out for 97 for the home side, while 3 other batsmen passed the half century mark in a convincing reply.
It was a batsman's match, with most of the bowlers struggling on a pitch which refused to wear, but was tedious for the spectators apart from the batting of Crawley.
