A routine and respectable draw in the warm-up game at Fenner's, with Worcestershire making 272-4 declared in the second innings. An inauspicious start for Riki Wessels, who faced just 15 balls all match for a total of 3 runs, but better going for 21-year-old Josh Dell, making his first-class debut and striking a maiden half-century in the second innings as he reached 63 not out. On this evidence, it looks like the Pears favour Dell as the next cab off the rank of talented local youngsters, and we may be seeing more of him this summer.
