Warwickshire continued to pile on the agony for India 'A' as they amassed 537 before being dismissed in their first innings on a truncated second day at Edgbaston on Thursday.

Leg spinner Amit Mishra captured a five-for but they cost him 183 runs as the tourists' final match - a four-day fixture - of the 40-day tour looked like turning out to be a miserable experience.

When bad light stopped play at 9.50 pm IST, India 'A' were five without loss in reply. Captain Shiv Sunder Das was batting on five and Wasim Jaffer was yet to open his account.

Although the Indians managed to break the overnight partnership of Ian Bell (75) and Tony Frost (76) early this morning, Warwickshire's lower order continued to frustrate their efforts.

Bell was caught by Hemang Badani off seamer Avishkar Salvi after only eight runs were added to the overnight total  of 302 but his fifth wicket stand with Frost was worth 97 runs.

Frost then found solid support in M A Sheikh (42) with whom he added 82 runs for the sixth wicket before being  stumped off Mishra.

Kenyan sensation Collins Obuya (36) and G G Wagg (74) then pushed the visitors to their wits end as Warwickshire realised 227 runs from their last five wickets.
