Warwickshire hoping to add the Bob Willis Trophy to the Championship title won last week
Lancashire 78 v Warwickshire 221-1
Image source, PA MediaWill Rhodes is gifted a half-tracker from Luke Wells' final ball to help himself to a four to bring up his 50.
It's come at a nice rate from 79 balls and has been very comfortable for the Warwickshire captain.
Lancashire 78 v Warwickshire 217-1
Signs of turn for Matt Parkinson, but hard to build up the pressure when your side trails by well over 100.
It's now leg-spin at both ends as Luke Wells is thrown the ball. He had a great little spell in a recent win at Somerset, but this feels like a desperate move from Lancashire captain Dane Vilas.

Warwickshire needed nine off the last five balls to beat Middlesex in a tense run chase.That's when number eight Smith connected with a Simon Hughes slower ball and sent it over the ropes for six.
Victory was sealed with two balls to spare and Smith's name was etched into Bears folklore.
Lancashire 78 v Warwickshire 203-1
Warwickshire's 200 is now up. For the loss of only one wicket is impressive enough, but when the other team have been bowled out for 78, the satisfaction is even greater.

Quote MessageRob Yates made a hundred against Somerset last week. That's what you want to see from young players, that hunger for runs. When you're in that kind of form, make it count."
Lancashire 78 v Warwickshire 199-1
Almost the end for Rob Yates as George Balderson hits him on the pads. Probably pitched just outside leg stump.
It's now six hundreds in 32 first-class matches, which is a fine rate for Yates, who only turned 22 on 19 September.
With an enlarged touring party likely if England go to Australia, the selectors must be thinking long and hard about this fine young player.
Lancashire 78 v Warwickshire 195-1

Rob Yates moves to 101 not out with his 18th boundary of a superb innings. A fifth red-ball century of a special summer for the 22-year-old.
Are you watching England?
Lancashire 78 v Warwickshire 191-1
A four off Matt Parkinson takes Rob Yates, followed by a couple singles off Luke Wood to within three of a century.
The opener has four Championship hundreds this season, but all of them have been at Edgbaston.
Lancashire 78 v Warwickshire 183-1
A push past point takes Rob Yates into the nineties and Warwickshire's lead into three figures.
The Bears are in such a commanding position, and as Will Rhodes takes four off Luke Wood, the 50 partnership comes up for the second wicket.

Over the course of the day, we'll take a look back at vintage moments for Red Rose and Bears supporters.
I'm sure Lancs fans will be happy to forget about current events for a minute or two!
Lancashire 78 v Warwickshire 175-1
For the first time in this match, we are going to have some spin as Matt Parkinson is thrown the ball.
The leg-spinner is tidy enough with just a single from his over.

Jack Blatherwick gets a delivery to bounce, which catches Will Rhodes on the glove showing that the pitch has not gone completely flat.
Rhodes is not too discomforted, though, as he helps himself to four from a Luke Wood half-tracker.
The Bears captain is making serene progress on a sunny morning as he moves to 27 not out.
Lancashire 78 v Warwickshire 167-1
Image source, Getty ImagesRob Yates nearly sees his hopes of a Lord's century disappear as Jack Blatherwick gets one past bat and pad, but just over the top of the stumps.
Luke Wood replaces Tom Bailey at the Pavilion End, but he has the same bad luck as yesterday as his first ball is edged by Will Rhodes down to the boundary for four. The over ends with Rhodes picking up four more from a leg-stump half-volley.

Lancashire 78 v Warwickshire 158-1
Image source, Getty ImagesTom Bailey and Lancashire captain Dane Vilas want a change of ball and umpires David Millns and Mike Burns agree and the boxes of replacements come out.
The first ball with the new one? Four! Will Rhodes cashes in as Bailey drops a fraction short.
It perhaps would have been a more apt conversation if Vilas had been asking the umpires if Lancashire could just start this match again.

Lancashire 78 v Warwickshire 153-1
We have had 10 overs of play this morning and Warwickshire have accumulated 33 runs for the loss of Dom Sibley.
Rewind 24 hours and Lancashire had already slumped to 12-6 in the same opening period of the day.

Warwickshire are county champions and continue to look well placed to lift the Bob Willis Trophy in the sunshine at Lord's and yet none of their squad have been voted onto the BBC County Team of the Year.
Perhaps it harks back to a previous time. When the Bears were dominating domestic competitions in the mid-90s England snubbed them. The then chairman of selectors, Ray Illingworth, was met with derision when he declared Warwickshire had no outstanding players.
What he meant, of course, was that they were a great team without star individuals, at least none who were eligible for England.
Decent cases can be made for at least Liam Norwell, Rob Yates and Sam Hain to have made the county side but maybe some of that 90s team ethic has been apparent again three decades later.
