Read MorePink ball cricket at Edgbastonpublished at 15:46 British Summer Time 24 August 2016
Warwickshire's annual Second XI Championship home fixture with neighbours Worcestershire does not normally command much attention, except among the most passionate of Midlands cricket aficionados.
But this week's three-day meeting at Edgbaston is a bit different, as it is being played with a pink ball as a day/night game, instead of on the club pitch at Barnt Green, where it had originally been scheduled.
The ECB are constantly looking at ways of increasing the popularity of domestic cricket. They first experimented with day/night cricket using pink balls in September 2011, in an end-of-season County Championship fixture between Kent and Glamorgan at Canterbury.
Australia used pink balls last November in their day-night Test match against New Zealand in Adelaide, which attracted record-breaking attendances.
Today's third and final day's play got underway at 14:00 BST. Warwickshire currently stand on 142-3 in their second innings, having scored 304-9 declared in their first innings, to which Worcestershire replied with 300-7 dec.
