The win that clinched the Championship title - Day 1
28.09.26, 10:20
Rothesay County Championship, Day One: Warwickshire, 130/4, lead Leicestershire, 125, by five runs.
By Brian Halford
Warwickshire’s march towards the Rothesay County Championship title continued apace at Edgbaston as relegation-bound Leicestershire became the latest to be crushed by their irrepressible bowling attack.
The visitors chose to bat in a bid to earn batting points essential to their survival hopes. Their plan went spectacularly pear-shaped as they succumbed for 125 to effectively confirm their demotion. Only Ben Cox (33, 56 balls) and Sol Budinger (27, 49) resisted for long against a bang-in-form attack led by Ethan Bamber (four for 42) and Chris Woakes (three for 20).
