Warwickshire 2nd XI retained their unbeaten record in the T20 Central Group after a thrilling tie with Gloucestershire in a sun-soaked runfest at Cheltenham College.
At the beautiful and historic venue where, in 1913, PG Wodehouse saw Percy Jeeves play for Warwickshire (with momentous consequences), the Bears piled up 236 for seven (Zen Malik 80 from 33 balls, Kai Smith 46 from 22). Gloucestershire then responded with 236 for six so the points were shared.
Gloucestershire chose to bowl but were mauled by an opening stand of 130 from 53 balls by Malik and Smith. After they were parted there were other brisk contributions from Theo Wylie (30, 21), Michael Booth (23, 11) and Ethan Bamber (23 not out, 10) to propel the total well over 200.
