Ben Brown’s men will be looking to put the woes of a heavy defeat at Trent Bridge behind them and get back to winning ways.

The Bears are undefeated so far this season, with two wins and three draws as they sit in second place with 79 points to their name.
They’ve had to fight though – success by one wicket against Durham where new signing Ethan Bamber launched a six down the ground to win the game, and a battling draw against Nottinghamshire after being bowled out for just 93 in their first innings.
Tom Latham started his career as a Bear in emphatic fashion, whilst Australian Test all-rounder Beau Webster is true to his role as he picked up a wicket with both pace and spin against Surrey.
Olly Hannon-Dalby is ever reliable with the ball whilst Bamber has had an electric start to the season with 18 wickets, whilst Ed Barnard is currently Warwickshire’s leading run scorer with two centuries and a fifty to his name.
