Jon Culley at Warwickshire 19-1 v Middlesex

After a quiet start at Edgbaston, where the toss was not contested, Warwickshire have just lost Ian Porterfield, who has nicked one from Tim Murtagh to be caught behind. Middlesex clearly fancied there might be a bit of assistance for their bowlers on a cloudy but warm morning but Murtagh and Tom Helm, while getting the odd one to swing, had not really posed too many problems hitherto. Warwickshire have been forced into a change in their batting line-up with Ian Bell ruled out by a sore elbow, his place going to 20-year-old Matt Lamb, who is playing in only his fourth senior match. Middlesex have replaced Toby Roland-Jones with James Harris and another change to their bowling sees Steven Fill ruled out by back spasms. Helm returns from England Lions duty, as does Sam Robson, who replaces a struggling Nick Gubbins.
