"Gently it's soft touch awoke him once..."
Tea: Warwickshire 127 for 4 (40 overs). Troughton 17, Ambrose 13.
Troughton has faced 78 balls for his 18. He is certainly determined not to let this match go lightly.
Bright sunshine now. With a long last session ahead, due to all the time lost, Lancashire will still fancy their chances of finishing this match today.
For the first time this season a championship match involving Warwickshire could be completed without a bird alighting on the outfield. Too much building noise, presumably.
Although if a pied wagtail did attempt to land the umpires would probably decree that the bird's wings cast too great a shadow over the pitch, deem the light inadequate and take the players off.

Brian Halford - Brian Halford’s look at Edgbaston.
Know how you feel about OT Brian, it's an awful place to watch county cricket next season. Still, I won't have that problem in 2010 and Warwickshire must already be a relegation candidate on account that they won't have a guaranteed win over Sussex. Have to say mate I won't miss Edgbaston, but will miss your company at Hove - although I'm sure you're relieved that you won't be woken at 5am by you know what. Winter well mate.
Hi T.H.S., thanks very much. The loss of Hove from the itinerary next season is much-lamented by Bears followers. Hopefully, Warwickshire will get a one-dayer down there.
Enjoy the Champions League mate and have a good winter.
