# Cricket: Sam Cook will make his England debut in this week’s Test against Zimbabwe, while fellow fast bowler Josh Tongue features for the first time in two years. Cook’s place in the England team at Trent Bridge on Thursday is a reward for a sustained spell as one of county cricket’s most consistent wicket-takers with Essex. The 27-year-old’s 227 County Championship wickets are the most by any seamer over the last five years. Tongue has been included in England’s new-look bowling attack in his first appearance since the 2023 Ashes series.
