Rew's knock was the highlight of the final day as the PCC side, coached by former England captain Andrew Flintoff, resumed on 387 for five in their second innings at Grace Road. The young batter's composed innings ensured the hosts ended the match firmly in control.

This warm-up was Zimbabwe's sole preparation ahead of their long-awaited Test clash with England, the first between the two nations in nearly 22 years.

The Test is set to begin on Thursday at Nottingham’s Trent Bridge and will be played over four days, deviating from the current five-day format typically used in red-ball internationals.
