Follow-on avoided. So who's the other?
Warwickshire 238 for 8 (83 overs). Salisbury 50, Zondeki 9.
The follow-on is safely avoided thanks to Carter and Salisbury. The blow that took Warwickshire past the required 236 also took Salisbury to an excellent debut 50.
Salisbury has batted superbly this morning - solid and watchful he has also punished the bad balls, not least when he flicked Klusener nonchalantly for six over long-leg.
Salisbury, by the way, is one of two current county cricketers whose surname is a cathedral city. The other?

So it must be Wells then Alan Wells. No Cathedral in Wakefield shame
No, not Wells. He retired. Current county (and former England) cricketer. Cathedral city.
Is it an English cathedral?
Kevin Pietersen
No, not an English cathedral - but not far away.
And Paul - good try, but no, Pieterson is not a cahtedral city. And nor is he a Test-standard cricketer, of course.
Ian bELY.
Good effort, Kim, but nope.
Let's up the stakes a bit. Whoever comes up with the correct answer will win a very special prize - a ticket stub from tomorrow's mouth-watering crucial League One tussle between Huddersfield Town and Walsall. I was going to put it on e-bay but if anyone comes up with the answer it's theirs.
No need to be anonymous Brian. I know how much you're looking forward to sunny Huddersfield.
Dominic Cork?
Well done, Paul, spot on.
Yours is the ticket-stub. For full football ground authenticity I will endeavour to get a pie stain on it.
As well as the pawprint of a power-crazed jobsworth steward in a yellow jacket.
Great blog today, somehow it compensates for missing a good days cricket .
