Warwickshire are likely to have an edge over Somerset as the two teams take on each other. The former are placed at the 5th spot in the division 1 virtual County Championship points table with three wins and two losses from five matches with 71 points.

Warwickshire have a pretty decent batting line-up with Will Rhodes and Dom Sibley as their opening combination. In the middle order as well, they have solid players like Ian Bell, Sam Hain and Adam Hose.
