Bears on the slide

Warwickshire 144 for 6 (48 overs). Woakes 6, Salisbury 3.

Kaneria has four for 15 in 31 balls after Frost, on 10, plays across the line to a well-flighted straight ball and is plum lbw.

An Essex-based member of the media is speculating on how Essex should best judge their declaration tomorrow to give themselves time to bowl the Bears out again!

That might be a bit premature but it has not been too impressive a display from the Bears. Ambrose will be welcome ballast for the middle-order from next week onwards.
