England`s cricket team has confirmed its squad for the one-off Test against Zimbabwe, taking place at Trent Bridge from May 22 to May 25. Zak Crawley remains in the lineup despite facing challenges with his recent form, while Sam Cook receives his first call-up to represent England.

In domestic cricket, the County Championship is heating up with several matches in progress.

Meanwhile, Middlesex is competing against Kent at Lord`s, currently sitting at 158-4 in their first innings after Kent was bowled out for 129.
