England piled up 498 for three at Trent Bridge on Thursday as they surpassed the previous highest first-day team total in a Test in England of 475-2 compiled by an Australia side featuring batting great Donald Bradman at The Oval back in 1934.

Zak Crawley made 124 and fellow opener Ben Duckett a blistering 140 before number three Ollie Pope top-scored with an unbeaten 169 after Zimbabwe had won the toss.

Zimbabwe's tough task became all the more difficult when paceman Richard Ngarava suffered a back injury shortly after lunch and didn't bowl again Thursday.
