Day 2

The win that clinched the Championship title - Day 2

A draw, never mind a win, would secure Warwickshire’s ninth County Championship crown but their supporters, who have turned out in force on the first two days, will arrive for the third expecting a fourth to be unnecessary.

Rothesay County Championship, Day Two: Leicestershire, 125 and 55/3, trail Warwickshire, 372, by 192 runs. 

By Brian Halford

Sam Hain’s 21st first-class century kept Warwickshire’s Rothesay County Championship title quest firmly on course on the second day against Leicestershire at Edgbaston. 

Hain compiled a highly-skilled 142 (301 balls) in seamer-friendly conditions as Warwickshire reached 372 to take a substantial first-innings lead of 247. He was well-supported by Ed Barnard who made 88 (155) in a partnership of 165 in 50 overs while Ajaz Patel took three for 78 and Josh Hull three for 79.
