A strong batting display meant India A suffered a long day in the field as Warwickshire ended the first day's play at Edgbaston on an a commanding 302 for 4.
Partnerships were the key to their innings and Mike Powell, the captain, led from the front with a solid 68 from 123 balls. Jonathan Trott followed that with 78 including 11 fours and Ian Bell then dug in to reach 71 not out, adding an unbroken 89 for the fifth wicket with Tony Frost (30*).
Lakshmipathy Balaji was the pick of the India A bowlers with 2 for 45, including the wickets of Jonathan Trott and Dominic Ostler for 10, but it was a rare day of disappointment so far on India A's tour.
