Collision
Harry Brook top-edges a pull at Ed Barnard in between mid-wicket and mid-on. Michael Booth and Zen Malik go for the catch and collide. Malik has to leave the field and looks dazed, Booth is ok having been rubbing his knee. Ah, hang on, Booth is going off as well.

Wrap up
One thing which is worth saying. If you’re coming to Edgbaston today, wrap up warm.
It’s certainly not warm out there. Even the car park steward diverted from his usual cheery, ‘Morning, have a great day’ to ‘Stay warm, that’s all I’ll say’.
Good morning...
From Edgbaston, where it’s a dry but overcast morning ahead of day three between Warwickshire and Yorkshire.
‘It’s a brand new day’ is the attitude the White Rose must have today.
They had a “poor day” yesterday, was batting coach John Sadler’s view at close, with the visitors slipping from 110-4 overnight to 152 all out before Warwickshire, trailing by five on first innings, closed on 267-3 second time around.
But it has the feeling of a decent morning to be bowling. If they can strike frequently before lunch, they do have a chance of a revival in this game – like Somerset last week.

Enjoy the day.
