Ben Twohig, who was 51 not out overnight, added another nine runs before being dismissed by former Worcestershire paceman Richard Jones.

Chris Russell extended his innings from 30no to 45 before becoming a third victim of Oliver Hannon-Dalby.

Russell and Alex Hepburn sent back Andrew Umeed (18) and William Porterfield (16) to leave Warwickshire on 52-2.

But then Laurie Evans (130) and Freddie Coleman (85) added 183 for the third wicket and Warwickshire eventually closed on 319-4 declared.

Twohig and George Rhodes were the other wicket-takers.
