Final day as it happened
England 416 beat Zimbabwe 94 & 253 by an innings & 69 runs

James Anderson and Steve Harmison took four wickets each as England completed a 2-0 series triumph with their second three-day victory.

Durham paceman Harmison took the final wicket on his home ground but the tourists saved some face thanks to defiant innings from Travis Friend (65 not out) and Dion Ebrahim (55).


Latest action (all times BST):

1646: Harmison yorks Hondo to wrap up victory for England on his home ground.
Zimbabwe 253 all out

1644: Harmison is back into the attack after a change of ends, but Friend punches his first ball to the mid-wicket boundary, taking the total past 250.

1642: A short, wide delivery from Anderson is dabbed past gully for four by last man Hondo.

1640: Anderson returns in place of Harmison with the chance of his second five-wicket haul in Test cricket.

1638: Friend forces powerfully off the back foot but McGrath makes an excellent stop at cover.

1636: Price can only get gloves to a vicious short ball from Harmison and Stewart takes the simplest of catches.
Zimbabwe 244-9

1631: Price cuts Giles for four.

1628: Johnson trips up while fielding and looks a little anguished after twisting his knee.

1625: Giles returns to bowl his slow left-arm under a cloudless sky.

1619: Friend carves Anderson over a sparse slip cordon for four.

1613: Price is fortunate to survive a good-looking shout for lbw with Anderson denied by umpire Hair.

1608: Friend hits a brilliantly-timed back-foot drive off Johnson to collect four and reach a well-deserved half-century.

1603: Hussain takes a blinder of a catch diving across from mid-on as Blignaut is dismissed by Anderson.
Zimbabwe 223-8

1557: Friend collects two further boundaries off Johnson, closing on a half-century.

1554: Anderson takes the new ball, immediately beating Blignaut's outside edge, but the batsman then drives the Lancastrian for two handsome fours.

1550: Blignaut is going to play some shots now, but only collects a couple off a Giles over.

1548: Harmison bowls the first over after tea, a maiden.
