The Bears bat

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. It's a bright, slightly cloudy day in Nottingham.

Bearing in mind the Bears' recent form it was tempting to turn right instead of left off the A46 on to the A606, head for Melton Mowbray and go to the Melton Show to stock up on pork pies but, no, here I am and hopefully it's the day Warwickshire turn the corner.

Troughton and Tahir are playing their first competitive games of the season, the latter at the expense of Zondeki. A rest for Zondeki can't do him or the team any harm.

Nottinghamshire have won the toss and put Warwickshire in.
