Warwickshire 534 for 6 (137 overs). Clarke 55, Botha 21.

Clarke clobbered 50 from 48 balls with 11 fours and some of those fours were the equal of any strokes in this game. Amazing timing.

A cacophony of hooting beyond the Pavilion End. The pied wagtail is flitting perkily, almost gloatingly, around Michael Lumb at long leg.

Carberry is bowling his 14th over. Having been in the field for 137 overs, and counting, he and Adams will be weary when they head out to open the batting at some point this evening.
