Carter carnage

Warwickshire 130 for 1 (16 overs). Carter 83, Troughton 13.

Carter and Bell added 71 in nine overs before Bell, on 22, mispulled Cook to mid-on and Ferley took a straightforward catch.

Carter reached 50 from 36 balls with three sixes and seven fours.

The 13th over, from Edwards, went for 22 including a six and two fours for Carter and five wides. Warwickshire's players, on the balcony next to the press box, are much appreciative, none more than Sreesanth.

Thrilling stuff from Carter though Kent have bowled some leg-side filth. Why on earth don't other counties do what Derbyshire did last week and get a spinner on early against him? Carter had 81 before Tredwell came on for the 16th over.
