What's going on at Warwickshire? Trott was a prolific number 3 batting in ODI at 3, Bell's most successful position for England was opening yet here Trott opens and Bell bats at 3.

Porterfield and Hain have usually opened with Trott at 3. It's only because Porterfield is away with Ireland that Trott has been moved up.

Yes but why is Bell not opening? Even in the Big Bash he did OK opening, it's square pins in round holes. In the last Ireland ODI Poerterfield had is best innings for yonks batting down the order so Bell should open all the time in white ball games.

Good start for Northants but a tough ask given the strength of the Yorkshire team.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Hmm. Two quick wickets against Yorks and no Tim playing. But the good side is on the field, so no complaints and N'hants don't have much to play for.

Decent score on the board though and Hain again in the runs.

Three down. In a bit of trouble now. Need to get something on the board given the bowling is strong. 220-250 perhaps.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Four down. Oh no.

Well, at least it's DD's birthday. More or less.

Zimbabwe born Gary Ballance continuing his astonishing early season form. Can't miss at the moment.
