Warwickshire's team looks odd, Bell playing but no Chopra or Trott.

New ICC one-day regulations in place.

Main one being free hit for ANY no-ball.

A sensible change Aiden, have they also brought in the change that there will be an extra fielder allowed outside the circle after the power play?

The PP rules are now as follows -

1-10 overs (2 fielders outside the 30 yd circle)

11-40 overs (4 outside the circle)

41-50 (5 outside the circle)

I thought there was also talk of abandoning the batting power play.

Cautious batting from both Durham and Warks, Ambrose goes so two down there.

Another Warks wicket goes as Evan snicks behind. Four down in the 17th over. I wonder if they think it's a T20 game.

Bad weather yesterday could be a factor, pitches probably not suited to making big scores. Watching Durham on the TV and that seems to be the case at Northants.

Warks playing on an out ground at Market Worsop so I guess that creates doubts in the batsmens mind. The dobby type bowlers taking wickets.

Bell gets to 52 and next ball out off Christian, another dibbily dob wicket. Bell will see this as a failure as he clearly was attempting to bat through the innings.

Is Chopra injured or left out for Bell?
