ScorecardIndia A’s impressive tour was in danger of coming to an ignominious end, as Ian Bell swung his way through their batting with career-best figures of 4 for 12 from nine overs. India, whose batsmen have been the star performers of an unbeaten tour, were forced to follow on and salvaging a draw is now the best they can hope for.India had resumed at 5 for 0 in reply to Warwickshire’s formidable 537, and had reached 117 for 1 when Bell began his wicket-spree. With Graeme Wagg chipping away at the other end, India folded for 181, with four batsmen recording ducks. Only Parthiv Patel, with a composed unbeaten 46, was able to keep his head.They faced a tricky 20 overs in their second innings, but Shiv Sunder Das and Wasim Jaffer prevented any further mishaps by reaching 70 for 0 at the close. But Bell, who made a fine 75 in Warwickshire’s innings, has yet to be unleashed for a second time.
