Shrew in a patch of nettles

Warwickshire 43 for 1 (8 overs). Trott 16, Troughton 21.

Carter's poor day was completed when he lifted the fifth ball of the innings, from Collins, to point and perished for one. Trott and Troughton are batted solidly though, albeit with one or two hairy moments running-wise.

Successive fours by Trott off Dernbach have just brought the required run-rate down to virtually a run a ball.
