What is the latest on Keith's injury - a knee problem, I think? Such a great return against Essex, but I'm getting Chris Rushworth vibes here...

A lot of our bowling was too short and easily hit to the boundary. Annoying that Jake Lintott is with Kent - they thrashed Surrey and Jake produced an excellent bowling display with figures of 4 overs, 1 maiden and 3/19! We really could've done with him in that form today!

Awful start to our T20 campaign. It won't be easy tomorrow against Northants. Unthinkable if it ends in a 4th straight defeat.

They still haven't learnt from previous years. Completely reckless. Why try and smash virtually every ball out of the stadium!!?

Any news on the rumoured hernia issue Chris Woakes has? Hopefully it can be managed - any operation would rule him out for at least 6 weeks you'd think.

A good start in County Championship considering the weather at times. Second place in the table is a healthy platform going forward. Hopefully Woakes and Barker recover from their injury issues. A bit worrying if Chris Woakes has a hernia issue. Have the Club shed any light on the severity of the problem?

Incredible second innings by the Bears! Sam Hain with a superb patient innings. Ethan Bamber's brilliant opening bowling spell set the tone. The dismissals of Brook and Bairstow late on is the icing on the cake! You Bears!

What's happened to Kai Smith? His batting was looking promising a couple of games ago.

At the ground now. 39/3. Another poor start. The same pattern in nearly every game. What's happened to Woakes, Barker and Gilchrist, surely not all injured?

They're not that far ahead. A couple of early wickets will put us in the box seat. The ball is only 8 overs old. Agree about the umpiring......shockingly bad decision making at times. COYB!

Woakes ball to Verryenne was excellent - it sent his middle stump cart wheeling out of the ground! Excellent bowling - Booth is also looking so good......the commentators liken his action to Peter Siddle.

Great knock from Michael Booth. He just smashed a six out of the ground off the last ball of the 110th over to gain maximum batting points! 453/8 with a ninth wicket partnership of 118, superb batting!

Why was Kai Smith left out? Anyway a decent day overall. Well done Ed!

Jacob 14 off 10 balls, 3 fours. First batting he's done in 7 weeks. Bound to be rusty.

Davies failed again. Looks to be a decent wicket, weather is good for batting you'd think. Hopefully Webster and Barnard can put together a partnership....

Jacob definitely needs to play in this one, he's not played any meaningful cricket since March 5th - that's 7 weeks now. Apparently he's only played in one first class game for Warwickshire since August 2024.

Webster was reckless with playing a T20 shot when he got bowled. He played a similar shot earlier and got away with it. He should've been far more patient like Sam Hain.

Warwickshire lost the toss, and naturally, Essex decided to bowl under cloudy conditions with rain forecast. Bears already 12/2! The wicket has a green tinge.

Not even on the RCB bench today vs Lucknow Super Giants! Jacob isn't getting any meaningful cricket at all. He was on the bench last Sunday vs Mumbai Indians. His last cricket was on 5th March with that epic 105 against India.

Really poor to not defend over 300 on a worn track. Comeback OH-D!
