Three men in luminous jackets

Warwickshire 107 for 4 (20 overs). Bell 40, Troughton 32.

Having advanced at five an over for most of their partnership, which has now added 79, Bell and Troughton have slowed, no doubt with an eye on lunch. It is important they see out this session because wickets have tended to fall in clusters during this game.

The pressure has lessened against the change bowlers, the erratic Sajid Mahmood and the steady medium Tom Smith.

Three men in luminous jackets are chatting in the seats beneath the lugubrious new red conference centre to the right of the pavilion, perhaps pondering how such a monstrosity came to be built.
