Leake on top for Small Arms in Second City derby
Warwickshire 185 for 3 (51 overs). Porterfield 54, Troughton 27.
Porterfield was dropped again on 25 when Muchall failed to cling on to a chance at first slip and they ran four instead. The batsman celebrated with four successive fours off Stokes (5-0-50-0) in his maiden 50 for Warwickshire.
Troughton, solid and compact in defence, is unrecognisable from the footwork-free figure he cut for much of last season.
Arthur Best, opening the batting, made nine for Birmingham Small Arms Company in their 70-run win over Birmingham at Edgbaston in May 1892. The Small Arms Company had an impressive armoury, headed by John Leake who took eight wickets.

Brian Halford - Brian Halford's look at Edgbaston.
I can't keep up. Tuesday start, I was convinced the game couldn't start today after the back to back games previous.
Best of luck to Paul Best, could be playing plenty of cricket if injury is bad.
Big win for the mighty Saints against Brighton, last game of season is looking very valuable to Saints and Walsall.
Any good bird life ? Worcester will take some beating with buzzards, peregrines, gulls and pied wagtails !
Enjoy your trip
How much is the tea and coffee ?
Does Durham beat our current prices ?
Hi Beatie. Haven't ventured to the tea stand yet.
I think having Walsall at home last game of the season will prove Southampton's trump card!
