Definitely. Great to have KB back. That left arm option would have been useful against Sussex last week too.

Have only missed much of today's play as have been at work, however very pleased with what i see. Only 2 wickets for victory. Fan-bloody-tastic!!!

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship

Its going to be a tough day 4 against Essex.

We have got to take 20 wickets for less than 200. I am amlittle worried about the small total to defend. If Essex get off to a good first session, I think we may be looking into the face of defeat.

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship

Day 3 - stumps

Warwickshire - 190 & 220
Essex - 205 & 11 for 0

Again the top order have failed to click. Our tail is pulling us out of some sticky situations.

Interesting morning ahead tomorrow with Essex needing 196for victory.

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship

Day 3 - lunch

Warwickshire- 190
Essex - 205

Great session for the Bears taking 7 wickets this morning to restrict Essex to 205, a lead on 15 runs.

Need to knuckle down but also keep the scoreboard ticking over for the rest of the day now. Nothing silly.

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp

The Bears women are off the mark. Many more wins to come.

Day 2 - Stumps

Warwickshire - 190
Essex 110 for 3

Rain caused a delay to proceedibgs for muchnof the final session, however the Bears picked up 1 more wicket. . Essex now trailing Warwickshire by 80 runs.

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship

I am hoping the weather is on our side next couple of days.

Day 2 - tea

Warwickshire - 190
Essex - 79 for 2

Barker and Bamber picking up a wicket each. A few more are required in the final session.

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship

Day 2 - lunch

Warwickshire - 190

Gilchrist last to go, clean bowled by Cook with Hain being undefeated on 88.

We did better than I had hoped and now need to bowl well and get into the Essex top order.

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship

Forgot to post this yesterday morning. Better late than never.

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship

Hain in a tough position trying to keep the strike but also keep the scoreboard ticking over. Doing a top job so far. If he can get to his century and Gilchrist can add a few, the first innings may be salvaged.

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship

Barker first to fall this morning. Its going to be tough but we need to try and make it through to lunch without losing last 2 wickets.

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship

50 up for Hain. Vital innings and made sure he remains in the middle. How we end theninnjngs will depend a lot on him.

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship

Play under way and Keith Barker has got his first runs for Warwickshire in 8 years.

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship

The weather looks like it should be dry for the first session of play, however chances are it will rain after lunch. Ideally we could do with not losing a wicket before that point and just stick it out at the crease.

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship

With the mens team taking on Essex at Edgbaston, the womens team look to get the Bears first win of the season against Esses womens side.

Lets hope the Bear dominates the days play both in Birmibgham and Chelmsford today.

#WARvESS #ESSvWAR #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #MBODC #womenscricket

Close of play with Bears on 113 for 7. Lets hopemfor a better day 2.

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship

Still no play at Edgbaston and weather looks iffy for tokorrow. I think we may be looking at a draw in this one thanks to the weather. Still over 3 days of play technically so we shall see.

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship

We apologise for the delay, but the Hain Train approaching platform 50 is delayed due to rain. As soon as it is possible we shall continue our journey with the destination being Edngaston Platorm 💯. We thank.you for your patience.

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship #SamHain

Players have come off the field due to rain. It does not bode well with ground staff covering a lot of the playing surface up.

Warwickshire - 113 for 7

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship

Day 1 - lunch

Warwickshire - 78 for 5

Not looking too god at the moment. A lotmof work to do from this point. Essex getting plenty out of the ball. It looks tough out there.

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship

Awful shot by Webster. Bowled by Snater.

Not looking great for the Bears. We are now 48 for 4.

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship

Essex bowling well. Porter has kowntaken 3 to restrict the Bears to 25 for 3.

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship

Play underway at Edgbaston and Davies already back in the hutch after one ball 😬

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship

Essex win toss and elect to bowl. Lads need to knuckle down and make some decent runs.

#WARvESS #YouBears 🐻 #CountyChamp #CountyChampionship

Game day. Hopefully the weather holds and we can get a full day's play. Need to get a positive result this weekend.
