Wicket straight after lunch... Don't let this good start go to waste Hants

The collapse may be on, but it's kind of nice to see signs there might be something in it for the bowlers. We're going to need some batting bonus points though.

Easy paced pitch according to Tim Wellock and the overhead conditions failed to give assistance to the bowlers. He said it is likely to take spin later in the match so I reckon you are in a good position. We're not very good bowling spin and no good batting against it either!

Cheers Captain, positive words from a Hants point of view.

Fifty partnership in 10 overs, these two aren't hanging around.

Can Vince get past 50 for a change?!

Off spin is currently disappearing to all parts, mind I'm not sure if he's left or right handed. I assume right.

Yes, right handed although maybe he should try the other hand!

Warwickshire 110-5, am I right in thinking we want them bowled out for as little as possible?

Yes. The various relegation scenarios are explained here. I don't know of they're right though!

There are so many scenarios but Warwickshire scoring minimal batting points will definitely help, especially if they get beaten and we can only get a high bonus point scoring draw.

First batting point.

100 partnership in 20 overs.

Still going along at same lick.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Buggeration!

Someone on Twitter said the ball is turning square. If so you're in a great position and things are perhaps looking bleak for Warwickshire.

Another positive comment, cheers Captain.

If it's true I'm wondering how we're going along at 4 to 5 runs an over still.

Second batting point.
