Clarke's instant impact

Essex 63 for 3 (25 overs). Bopara 11, Mickleburgh 4.

Clarke makes a bit of history by becoming the first player since Ntini to take a wicket with his first ball for Warwickshire. A great ball, it wasn't - a long-hop outside off-stump - but Pettini, on 13, flailed at it and nicked to Ambrose.

Clarke's second delivery was biffed to the off-side boundary by Mickleburgh.
