Will Porterfield added 21 before he was out lbw and then Ian Bell who had hit five fours was also out lbw after making 34.

Jon Trott went for seven and Darren Maddy for nine leaving Warwicks on 99-5 but enter Mohammad Yousuf and Rikki Clarke who put on 108 before Clarke was out for 56 from 96 balls including two sixes.
