Slightly greater length

Warwickshire 198 for 4 (71 overs). Troughton 63, Frost 58.

Troughton and Frost advance, both posting their half-centuries soon after tea, Troughton from 106 balls, Frost from 131. Frost's 50 was reached in charitable fashion with his eighth four - from a forward defensive shot! Richardson fielded the ball off his own bowling then his attempt to throw the small crimson sphere to the wicket-keeper by-passed said gauntlet-wielding humanoid and travelled to the boundary for a quartet of overthrows.

Malan and Kartik bowling. Middlesex appear to have run out of ideas.
