Bears innings summary - 191-5: Tom Taylor's first over in Steelbacks colours proved to be eventful!

His first delivery was smashed for six over mid-wicket by Rob Yates, but his second was a wicket, Yates mistiming another pull to Ben Sanderson at mid-on.

Two balls later and Taylor had another wicket, bowling Will Rhodes for a duck, as he ended his first over for the club with figures of two for seven.

That left the Bears 20 for two, and two balls into the fourth over they were 20 for four - Sanderson claiming two wickets in two balls, trapping Sam Hain leg before and having Michael Burgess caught at slip by Richard Levi.

The Bears had lost four wickets in seven balls and were 24 for four after four overs

The home side needed somebody to step up, and that man was Adam Hose, who along with Dan Mousley saw their team to 75 for four at the 10 over mark.

Hose reached his 50 from 37 balls, and he wasn't finished there.

He continued to plunder runs from all of the bowlers, as the Steelbacks struggled to contain him.

Hose brought up his century from just 52 balls, hitting eight fours and six sixes.

Mousley was also enjoying himself at the other end as the pair brought up the 150 partnership off the last ball of the 18th over.

The runs did slow a little, but by the time Hose was run out going for a second off the final ball he was on 119, with Mousley on 58 and the Bears had totalled 191 for five.

A remarkable performance after they had been 20 for four in the fourth over.

The Steelbacks' bowling figures were not pretty, but Sanderson was the pick of the bunch with two for 26 from his four overs, while Taylor ended with two for 38.
