Toss Ireland choose to bowl vs Zimbabwe
Ireland won the toss and decided to bowl first on return to Test cricket at home after a gap of six years. Zimbabwe’s batters will be tested on a wet Belfast morning with a passing shower turning up about an hour before the toss. There is rain forecast on all five days, more so on the first three.
This is the first men’s Test in Northern Ireland.
