Bears wobble

Chasing 316, Warwickshire have limped to 49 for 3 from 18 overs (Trott 10, Troughton 4).

Maddy fell to a horrible shot, a top-edged slash to point off 6ft 11in Bears trialist James McAdam, and went for 9. Powell eked out ten from 41 balls but then lifted Bradshaw carelessly to mid-off.

Oxford's seamers have got much more out of the track than Warwickshire's did, notably Ed Morse, in his fourth year at the university, who beat the bat numerous times in his opening burst of 9-4-13-1.

With cloud rolling in and the light not so good, suddenly the Bears have got their work cut out.
