Warwickshire ended day two at Hampshire with Rob Yates and Alex Mousley unbeaten together, an unbroken second-wicket stand of 127.
Captain Ed Barnard singled out the conditions his side faced with the ball earlier in the day. "To be put in on what could have been a difficult wicket, I thought Yates and Mousley were excellent. I thought the first hour was exceptional. It was perfect bowling conditions with the overheads, the lights on and Kyle Abbott. They dealt with that and then started to show their confidence after lunch."
He added a word of caution about the morning to come. "They won't be looking too far ahead as they'll have a big job to start again in the morning. They have both batted beautifully all year and they'll be hoping to kick on and get a big score."
