The covers are coming off, 3pm start time.
Warwickshire have signed 26 year old top order bat Zen Malik on a deal which runs to the end of 2026.
He represented England at under 19 level, has trialled prolifically at first class county second XI level recently scoring centuries in both innings for Glamorgan 2’s v Warwickshire 2’s and is averaging 104 for the competition.
Presumably a replacement for Rhodes.
Carried his bat, 150 up for Barny and he brings home the win in style.
Another decent knock from Benjamin.
Fantastic 100 for Barny, another captains knock after taking 3 wickets for not many earlier. Let’s hope he can bring them home.
Thanks, ECB play-cricket had it as Burgess.

100 overs, over 600 runs and it comes down to the last ball. What a great advert for the ODC.
Warwickshire win by 3 runs.
2 big 6’s from Sibley off OHD but he gets him the next ball.
24 required off 2
Up to 11 an over required
9 an over required now
We’ve lost the toss and bat.

Unchanged squad for this one.
Dan was the star of the show last night for Birmingham Phoenix. He defended 10 off the last 10 balls taking 3 wickets in the process and only conceding 3 runs. He was rewarded with the hero of the match award.
Earlier Bethell had top scored with 46(29)

Never seen so many LBWs given. We got 6 in their innings.
I’ve got socks older than those two umpires, think it was the enthusiasm of youth!
Phew, made that look harder than it needed to be

Chance for Benjamin here...
….he didn’t hear you
A couple of lovely drives off width balls then missed a straight one.
After we put them in I was starting to worry when they were 70/0 after 10 but 103/10 off the next 25 is a superb come back.
174 to win.
