That's a decent total from bottom-placed Royals and it has given them a good chance of just their second win of the season. It was set up by Charles and Mayers then built on by Phillips and a useful hand from captain Holder. Tahir, Hafeez and Shepherd were excellent with the ball for Warriors but they face a stiff chase now. Peter will be with you for the start of the chance
