But Leach picked up three wickets with the first, second and sixth deliveries to finish with overall figures of 4-0-23-4.
Ben Gibbon and Dillon Pennington, who shared the new ball, returned impressive analysis of 4-0-21-2 and 4-0-26-2.

Cullen faced only 21 balls and struck one six and five fours.
The keeper-batter and Edavalath gave the innings a timely boost after Worcestershire had slipped from 98-3 to 115-7.
