The players have courageously waded out into the treacherous terrain, taken their lives in their hands and heroically begun to play cricket.

Warwickshire 146 for 4 (56 overs). Trott 36, Ambrose 15.

A streaky early four for Trott but otherwise solid progess so far. A total of 356 or more would give Warwickshire a chance to put Leicestershire under pressure if they bowl well.

A man in the press box has just said: "He's playing nicely is Mr Trott."
