A very good contest

Worcestershire 21 for 0 (9 overs). Mitchell 9, Moore 12.

Martin and Woakes have delivered some testing new ball overs, well met by the two batsmen playing watchfully in moderate light.

Martin has had a couple of half-decent lbw shouts but both were rightly turned down by umpire Dudleston.

It is a very good contest. Maddy has just brought himself on, conditions being decent for bowling, though I reckon this could be a day for Carter.

Twelve points from a draw would just about assure Worcestershire of promotion so expect them to take miminal risks in pursuit of 400-plus.
