County Championship D1, Edgbaston (day two, stumps): Warwickshire 208 & 197-3 v Gloucestershire 118Nick Knight reached 10,000 Championship runs for Warwickshire quicker than any other batsman on a slow-moving day against Gloucestershire.
Thanks to Knight, who was unbeaten on 77, and Ian Westwood (55), Warwickshire closed on 197-3, a lead of 287 over the under-powered visitors on a slow pitch.
Gloucestershire had batted 56 overs for their first innings 118, debutant Grant Hodnett batting 52 overs for 49.
Steve Adshead was Dougie Brown's 50th first-class wicket of the season.

successful summer in the 2nd XI and with Cheltenham in club cricket.
Knight achieved his landmark in 223 innings, four fewer than former West Indies batsman Rohan Kanhai.
