ENG vs ZIM Live streaming: After almost 20 years, Zimbabwe will lock horns with England for a one-off Test match. The one-off four-day Test match would be held at Trent Bridge, and the upcoming clash is not just a restart of their age-old rivalry but also the start of an English summer that consists of far more challenging Test series.

The last time these two teams faced each other in the longest format was way back in 2003, when the legendary James Anderson began his brilliant career. Cut to 2025, where Anderson has retired and Nasser Hussain is doing broadcasting duties, and the new generation of cricketers has stepped up.

Ahead of this series, the England Test team underwent a transition. Now that Ben Stokes has recovered from his hamstring injury, his workload management looks uncertain. With both James Anderson and Stuart Broad not part of the Test squad anymore, their bowling lineup looks a little less experienced, as players like Josh Tongue and Sam Cook, who would be making their debut in the longest format, would be spearheading the bowling lineup. Tongue has been quite successful at Trent Bridge, where he has played a lot of county cricket this year, and this venue is known for assisting seamers will help him a lot.

As far as Zimbabwe is concerned, the upcoming clash would be quite challenging for them, but it's also a huge step in helping them rebuild their cricket. They have played in this format this year against teams like Afghanistan, Ireland, and Bangladesh, which also includes a historic win in Sylhet, and thus, they boast of great potential. But they would be required to put their best foot forward against a team like England.

But their preparation hasn't been up to the mark. They lost to County Select XI by 138 runs, which showed the weaknesses they have to work on. But there were a few positives as well. Pacer Blessing Muzrabani, who played a huge role during the Sylhet Test win, will aim to repeat his heroics again. Since Trevor Gwnadu had sustained an injury and was ruled out, Tanaka Chivanga has replaced him in the team, and that has bolstered their bowling attack.

Trent Bridge has always been seamers-friendly, and the county matches this year proved exactly that. Rain can play a spoilsport on Saturday, but the pitch conditions will be both fast bowlers-friendly and batters-friendly as well.

The Ben Stokes-led side had already revealed their playing XI.
