Gloucestershire 243 for 4 (75 overs). Taylor 25, Snell 0.

A much-needed breakthrough arrives as Marshall, having batted with calm authority this morning and advanced to 121 (189 balls, 18 fours, two sixes) receives a Carter long hop and laps it straight to Botha at mid-wicket.

It was looking ominous for the Bears with Taylor, having taken 16 balls to get off the mark, beginning to flow to the tune of 25 runs from his next 20.

Warwickshire have adopted a defensive approach with Trott bowling with a deep cover and deep long leg.

No spin yet today.
