We have a lovely sunny morning at Emirates Old Trafford ahead of the second day of our Vitality County Championship match with Warwickshire.

We have extended playing time today following the loss of more than half of yesterday's play with lunch at 1.10p, tea 4.00pm and close of play 6.30pm or when 104 overs have been bowled.
Here's a view of the pitch ahead of the second day.
