Botha powers into Warwickshire's history books.

Ant Botha's 19 in the first innings at Headingley was his third successive first innings score of 19.

Botha scored 19 in the first innings against Somerset at Edgbaston then scored 19 in the first innings against Durham at Chester-le-Street and in this match scored 19 in the first innings against Yorkshire in Leeds.

It is understood to be the first time that a Warwickshire player has scored 19 in the first innings of three successive matches.

Imran Tahir, meanwhile, has garnered five ducks in his last nine innings in all cricket.
