Sleeves, socks and straps
TEA: Warwickshire 111 for 2 (33 overs). Botha 6, Troughton 1.
Botha was, we think, dropped off the last ball before tea by McGrath at leg-slip off Rashid. Might have come off the pad.
Huge session after tea. Warwickshire have to roll up their sleeves, pull up their socks, dig deep, get stuck in, hit their straps, get in the zone, come to the party and focus.

Brian Halford - Brian Halford’s look at Edgbaston.
I nearly dropped a stitch wading through that neat litany of cliches.
Ant and Jim must surely batten down the hatches, stiffen their resolve and redouble their efforts.
And after Jim's bone bruise at the hands of a Steve Harmison bumper last week, I am endeavouring to make him an army cosy in purest lamb's wool. It's coming on a treat.
Not forgetting to play every ball on it's merits and take it one over at a time!

Tell me, Mrs Trellis, when one hears the term "knit one, purl one," how exactly does one "purl" one?
Well, Mr Halford, loathe as I am to get technical, a purl stitch sees you place the tip of your right-hand needle through the stitch on your left on, you wind the wool from top to bottom under the point of the right-hand needle and pull through, slipping the stitch off the left hand needle - and you're done.
Shall I knit you a jacket to replace the one you lifted from a Chester-le-SDtreet charity shop? Up the Bears!
Ah, I see. Thank you Mrs T.
I am wearing said jacket at the moment and have three times today been mistaken for Noel Coward by Yorkshire supporters.
Could Mrs Trellis knit us a new batsman or two please?
Brian, remember, in Yorkshire a Noel Coward is someone who is scared of Christmas. It's the expense you know....
And Flanders, last time I knitted a batsman I ran out of wool and we ended up with Westy.....
