The Parapet

Warwickshire 296 for 9 (80 overs). Woakes 88, Imran 6.

Carter 65 (80 balls, eight fours and a six) pulled Griffiths to long leg to end the partnership at 104 in 24 overs.

Imran promptly edged sneakily between wicket-keeper and slip for four to secure Warwickshire a first-innings lead.

The Bears lower order have dug in, put their heads above the parapet, put their necks on the block and really stood up to be counted this afternoon.

Now can Imran hang on in there while Woakes gets to a ton? Woakes has just lifted Griffiths for six over extra-cover then four to mid-wicket from successive balls.
