I think the team for tomorrow will look something like this:

Yates
Davies
Latham
Hain
Malik or Mousley
Barnard
Webster
Smith
Bamber
OHD
Simmons or Taz Ali

An excellent performance by the Bears! Great batting today by Zen Malik after the openers got us off to a decent start, glad he got to bat until the finish with a nice 49 not out. Webster's great knock in the first innings was crucial to our lead, Bamber bowled excellently for his 9 wickets but my player of the match goes to Ed Barnard for his all-round contribution. 3 wickets in their first innings, another 3 in the second and 41 & 37 runs scored as well. He also came in to bat both times when we were in tricky positions, particularly in the first innings at 47 - 4. Superb stuff!

Hoping our openers can bat for an hour or so today, just to take the pressure off Shaikh & Malik. Should we lose an early wicket i do wonder if Mousley might be moved up to three, he did bat pretty well for his 32 on the first day.

What an excellent day of cricket for the Bears, a really great bowling performance and Yates & Davies surviving those awkward few overs at the end to boot.

170 to win tomorrow, all ten wickets in hand, a really strong batting line-up too - we have to be favourites to win this one.

Bamber and Barnard have bowled superbly in this match - 15 wickets between them.

All out - 185 to win!

Root gone! Surely we can mop up the tail now!

104 runs behind at tea, we really need to get Root out before the close of play tonight or we could be looking at a big total to chase in the fourth innings.

I still think Taz Ali should have been selected, it would have been interesting to see him bowling this afternoon. A bit of spin wouldn't go amiss right now, maybe give Yates a few overs to see what he can do?

Webster batted superbly this morning, just a pity the other batsmen didn't stick around a little bit longer. Slightly disappointed with a lead of 48, another 30 or 40 would have been useful. Still, we've got our noses in front.

Over to you, OHD, Bamber, Booth & Barnard.

The World Test Championship starts on Wednesday 11 June, so depending on when the Aussie squad meets up for that Webster's last game for us could be as early as 31 May when we play Durham in the Vitality Blast. We are scheduled to play 2 mores games in that competition on the 6 & 8 June but he could well be preparing for the WTC by then.

The West Indies tests are scheduled to start on 25 June & finish on 16 July, if he does come back after then he could play on 18 July against Derbyshire (VB) & on 22 July against Worcestershire (CC).

Let's hope OHD can stick around for an hour or so today, and then Webster, Smith, Booth & Bamber can put some runs on the board.

Webster looked in pretty good nick when he came in yesterday, so if he can get a big score & the others chip in I reckon we can get to around 300.

I'm disappointed Taz Ali is not included, i thought he bowled well in the first two matches we played.

Slightly worried about Shaikh/Malik/Mousley at 3/4/5, it could well be the reason we decided to bowl first.

I think the team today will be:

Yates
Davies
Mousley
Hain
Barnard
Webster
Smith
Booth
Bamber
OHD
T Ali

Plenty of bowling options and a strong middle order.

Still buzzin' over yesterdays remarkable performance, and i think some praise should go to Head Coach Ian Westwood. We actually looked like a team showing some grit & determination for a change, rather than the attitude of the last 3 seasons of 'oh well, another disappointing performance but let's not dwell on that - focus on the positives (?) and move on' that we used to hear.

It was great to hear on commentary the Warwickshire squad on the balcony, clapping & cheering the batsmen in the middle all afternoon. Real team spirit and long may it continue.

Oh wow, wow, wow, WOW! What a wonderful game of cricket that was - fantastic!!

Superb batting from Barnard, Smith, Booth & Bamber this afternoon - absolutely brilliant!!

Oh no, Kai Smith tries a pull to leg but misses the ball and is out LBW. 102 needed from 35 overs now.

Tea, we need 113 off 38 overs. If these two stay in for another 20-odd overs we should be in a winning position!

Superb partnership from Barnard & Smith, 145 needed now off 43 overs.

C'mon you Bears!

Barnard & Smith going well, 176 needed off a minimum of 50 overs.

Hain & Mousley gone, in big trouble now
