LICHFIELD endured a day to forget with the bat as they were beaten at home by Coseley.

The city men were sent in to bat first by the visitors and saw just two players reach double figures.

Opener Oliver Caddick was the first to return to the pavilion when he was skittled by Mozamil Zulifqar in the third over.

Ihsaan Nadeem, Harry Turley-Salmons and Rory Prentice weren't far behind him as Lichfield found themselves on 37-4.

When opener Adam Braddock was removed by Jimmy Howell after a knock of 32, the hosts had managed to reach 50 – but two more wickets would fall before any more runs were added.

Robbie Stone's unbeaten 16 offered some resistance, but Lichfield were eventually dismissed for just 82.

Coseley's reply saw them reach 45 before the fall of the first wicket when Braddock caught Adam Shermer off the bowling of Edward Turner.

Lichfield gave the visitors some nervy moments as quick wickets reduced them to 68-5, but it wasn't enough as they eventually passed the target inside 20 overs.

Turner claimed all of the wickets for the hosts as he finished with figures of 5-18.
