Now that is a surprise...
Tea. Warwickshire 73 for 4 (31 overs). Powell 6, Ambrose 0.
Bell, having played beautifully and greeted Panesar into the attack with a glorious six over long off off the spinner's sixth delivery, fares less well in Boje's first over. To the Northants captain's third delivery, he plays back and is adjudged lbw.
The follow-on figure of 236 is starting to look a rather long way away.



Oh Dear.
First anniversary of our last CC win is looming.
I am lost for words.... this is a re-run of last week !
Powelly will steer the ship safely to port.
We'll slow down to a crawl and fall short of the follow on.
Perhaps we aren't very good if we bat second ?
12 months under Captain Maddy, have produced too many championship victories have they in that time.
A bit brutal ..... but the scorecard has an unhappy look about it for the second time in a week.
Now THERE is a surprise :-(
Dropping Frost not looking such a good idea now.
