The Sane End

Warwickshire 227 for 4 (85 overs). Clarke 61, Ambrose 12.

Everyone needs to get their bonces down for Warwickshire today and Ambrose has started in the correct vein.

If Clarke sustains this level of concentration and correctness all the way through and sees the Bears to safety it will be among the best innings I have seen for Warwickshire.

The new ball has just been taken.

Such is the disorganisation surrounding the newly-opened pavilion (where the players, press, officials are) at the Kirkstall Lane End that the two ends of the ground are being referred to here as the Sane End (where, mercifully, I am sitting with the radio boys) and the Insane End.
