These 2 looking comfortable. Bopara has looked very solid from the moment he came to the crease. He often does though and then gets out without making a big score.

I still think Hilfenhaus is ordinary.

Great - we're out tomorrow for a friends b-day and after the torrential rain in M'cr this week... I'm not holding out much hope!

Fingers crossed B'ham will be ok-ish and we (cough cough, I mean you lot) will win!
