The end of Porterfield

Warwickshire 252 for 4 (70 overs). Troughton 51, Clarke 5.

Porterfield and Troughton achieved that record with a stand of 131 in 37 overs before the former, on 87, was beaten by one that turned from Borthwick and was adjudged lbw.

Troughton's polished 50 included nine fours, including one donated via a quartet of overthrows from a pointless throw by Borthwick.

Bright but chilly. Small crowd, much smaller than usual at Chester-le-Street.
