McGrath (left) and Butcher were pivotal in England's victory Match report Match scorecard Zimbabwe 'must adjust' England's win in pictures

Rookie pace ace Anderson grabbed five wickets in Zimbabwe's paltry first-innings total of 147.

And Yorkshire skipper McGrath supplemented his half-century with three wickets in the visitors' second innings.

"Both look very good cricketers," said England captain Hussain.

"Obviously they've got a lot more to do yet but, if Anderson keeps pitching the ball up, he'll get wickets. And McGrath shaped well in all departments."

England showed great application during a long day in the field that finished in the fading light at 1930 BST.

"Today was a long, long day for us," Hussain admitted.

I thought every department of our game was excellent Nasser Hussain

"The boys are exhausted and there will be a few ice baths and stuff like that.

"I don't think Mark Butcher will be getting out of bed too early on Sunday."

Butcher's man-of-the-match performance included a century and five wickets for the match.

Hussain said England had prepared for the first Test of the summer as if they were playing Australia, not lowly regarded Zimbabwe.

"Myself and Duncan Fletcher told the boys to be thoroughly professional at the start of the game and not to take any side lightly," he said.

"I thought if we were 100% professional we could beat them and we were throughout the game.

"I thought every department of our game was excellent."
