The Worcestershire bowlers bowled tightly and restricted their opponents to less than two and a half runs per over.

Matt Davis took the new ball and bowled five overs for 17 runs and from the other end Mitchell Stanley sent down six overs for 14 runs.

Zain Ul-Hassan came on first change and conceded just nine runs in seven overs while Ed Bragg returned 0-15 from six overs.
