….Lancs must be struggling for seamers with the signing of Will Williams. Might find it difficult bowling teams out.

Wood is in the England T20 squad, and Gleeson only plays limited overs stuff.
Sibley out, two for Balderson, Warwickshire 63-3.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Big innings this for Pope. He's averaged barely over 20 over the past 18 months, with this being just his 2nd 50 in about 25 innings.

Interesting day of cricket, can't help but feel that the daft loss of Stokes will be key.

I can understand accelerating the score once we are level or close.
We were still in a position of saving the match. Still are.

Warwickshire 284-8, Williams' figures 24-11-42-2, not too shabby on your debut.

Yeah, agree, as they said on Sky it looked like we were already in front how he went chasing after it.

I think the third innings will be key, but I still have New Zealand as clear favourites.
