Maddy strikes a half-century

Warwickshire 117 for 2 (39 overs). Maddy 58, Trott 20.

Maddy has reached a gritty, nuggety half-century from 99 balls with seven fours. He is reining himself in admirably with sporadic ventures into strokeplay not least a lovely straight drive off Langeveldt which former Bears spin legend Doshi has just retrieved from the City End rope.

Trott offering stout support.

The drills have fallen silent, there is intermittent sawing, plus diggers growling around and the distant sound of workmen scoffing their sandwiches.

Or possibly rolls.
