A George Michael classic

Warwickshire 140 for 3 (48 overs). Trott 24, Troughton 0.

Maddy has just departed, I would imagine, in a state of considerable self-flagellation, after perishing following three hours of honest toil. He struck 73 from 135 balls, his first time past 50 in nine championship attempts, then received a short ball from Clare and lapped it to point where Wagg took a fine low catch.

Trott, on 23, has just survived a mighty lbw shout from Clare. This is an important stage of the innings. A wicket or two now and Derbyshire will fancy their chances against a Bears batting unit which has the less-than-formidable Rankin and Martin bringing up the rear.
