    Monty Panesar is bowling already but he's dropped a couple short and been punished by Darren Maddy. Warwickshire 200-3 and their first batting point. There was a brief discussion between the captains about setting something up but Warwickshire could move to within two points of Notts with a game in hand if they take eight points from a draw here.
