How wonderful...

Warwickshire 411 for 6 (93 overs). Chopra 173, Woakes 25.

Ambrose nicked behind for 40 after a partnership of 96 in 26 overs.

The sun is out now, throwing down soft heat and sending shadows stretching across the immaculate outfield and the ground looks lovely with red-and-white striped deckchairs in one corner and the handsome old pavilion, new-painted and sparkling in the opposite corner and a good crowd chewing the fat and the Quantocks a distant spread of brown, yellow and green beyond and how wonderful it would have been to spend some in this historic spot chatting to Arnold Ridley about his writing, his service in both world wars, his brilliant portrayal of Private Godfrey in Dad's Army and his lifelong passion for Somerset cricket.
