German Economy Minister Michael Glos declined to confirm the figures given by Reuters, but said that the direction of change in the annual growth forecasts was correct.
Glos had moments of fluency in their innings, Taylor taking two fours in an over off van der Wath and Adshead immediately sweeping Jason Brown to the mid-wicket boundary.
Powell passed 1, 000 runs for the season as he pummelled an attack badly missing Glos captain Jon Lewis, who is set to return from Manchester if he is not selected by England for the second Test against Pakistan.
