The oysters beds of Cancale

Warwickshire 36 for 0 (13 overs). Chopra 24, Westwood 12.

Compact start by the openers. Two cover-drives by Chopra, one off the front foot, one of the back, truly glorious.

There is still pace in the pitch when the bowlers bend their backs. What I don't understand is, well, anything really. But one specific thing I don't understand is why a number of balls kept low on the first morning yet fewer and fewer have done as the game has progressed.
