Rankin shines
Warwickshire 642 all out.
Somerset 5 for 0 (0.0 overs). Trescothick 0, Suppiah 0.
Botha 64, 109 balls, 11 fours. There are been some fine batting in this innings but none better than Rankin's in his fluent unbeaten 5.
Warwickshire's sixth-biggest total and their biggest since 1996. More runs than they managed in total in both games against Somerset last season.
Johnson keeping wicket as sub for Ambrose.
Woakes launched the innings with a Harmison-type four wides through the slips.



Nice to reading the blog again Brian.
Need to knock a couple over early. Both Miller and Woakes to have got stronger over winter.
Hope our great Colin P doesn't find out about the price of tea or it will a fiver at Edgbaston.
