Hain ton edges Bears nearer to Championship title

Warwickshire moved closer to securing the County Championship crown after building a commanding first-innings advantage against Leicestershire. Sam Hain anchored the hosts' batting effort by crafting an impressive century, supported by Ed Barnard during a substantial partnership.

After Leicestershire struggled in their opening trip to the crease, Ethan Bamber claimed multiple wickets to dent the visitors further before bad light halted play. Sol Budinger provided some early resistance for Leicestershire, but Warwickshire remain in a strong position heading into the remaining days of the contest.
