Majestic

By Brian Halford on May 16, 09 12:57 PM

Warwickshire 146 for 3 (37 overs). Troughton 66, Westwood 21.

Scotland have bowled very tidily on a pitch which has few demons but on which strokeplay is difficult. Ambrose, like Bell before him, was frustrated into attacking an inappropriate ball and, on 19, lifted Stander to long leg.

Troughton has knuckled down through a spell when he lost fluency to give the innings a much-needed answer. His 50 came from 93 balls with four fours.

Ten runs from the last three overs.

"Stead but unspectacular progress from Warwickshire," says Clive, who adds that the swans on the adjacent lake are looking majestic.

When I saw the headline 'Majestic' I immediately made the connection with the chocolate wafer biscuit which carries (or used to carry) that name. Never thought of swans.

Afternoon Sorrento. Actually (don't tell Clive I said this) but I don't think those swans look majestic at all. Just regulation swans really.

Keep up to date
