The mockers
Warwickshire 76 for 4 (21 overs). Bell 29, Troughton 14.
I hope I don't put the mockers on Bell here but really his batting sometimes appears touched by genius. All other batsmen have been fending and ducking and clinging on desperately this morning but Bell has played some lovely shots. One cover drive off Chapple was simply glorious then when Anderson switched to the Stretford End he was met by a blistering straight drive.
Having said that, Bell was dropped by Chilton at gully off Mahmood on 28. Chilton also grassed Troughton, on 4, in the gully off Anderson.
It's terrific cricket.
