Sam Cook: My black book of scalps will be in my bag for England debut
Sam Cook will make his England Test debut against Zimbabwe, hoping to add more batsmen to the little black book of scalps he has kept since early in his career. Cook, 27, has been named in England's team for the four-day Test match at Trent Bridge starting on Thursday — a debut he has had to wait a long time for despite his 227 County Championship wickets being the most of any seamer in the past five years, with his 321 first-class wickets for Essex coming at an average of only 19.85. He is joined in the pace attack by Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue, who will play his first Test since the 2023 Ashes. Zimbabwe come into this Test, their first on English soil

Cook, who plays for Essex in the County Championship, has taken 321 first-class wickets and made a name for himself on the England Lions tour of Australia where he picked up 13 wickets in three matches. The 27-year-old will be part of an inexperienced bowling attack alongside Josh Tongue, Gus Atkinson and spinner Shoaib Bashir, with England's pace department depleted after injuries to key bowlers including Mark Wood and Chris Woakes. Zak Crawley has retained his spot as opener despite his underwhelming performances in recent tests, while Ollie Pope returns to number three. The match, which begins on Thursday, is Zimbabwe's first test in England in 22 years and marks the start of the English summer.
