Shiny

Warwickshire 16 for 0 (8 overs). Westwood 7, Botha 5.

A testing start for the openers from Chapple and Mahmood. The pitch is shiny, as so often at Old Trafford. One or two have kept a bit low already.

Quite a bit of playing and missing. Botha, on 4, bat-padded Mahmood just wide of short leg.

Stone-cutters to the left of us, angle-grinders to the right of us.

Tahir practiced okay yesterday, batting and bowling, but reported discomfort this morning.
