flanker Apr 2015 2:52pm, 23 Apr 2015 15,817 posts	0 flanker Not sure the performance of the openness anything to get excited about. Not quite managing to score at 3 per over on a docile pitch against a third rate bowling attack. However, I also expect they're in for the series as the numbers will look ok in a spreadsheet.

TRO Saracen Apr 2015 4:06pm, 23 Apr 2015 10,501 posts	0 TRO Saracen 102-0. First hour and 15 seen off, and the pitch is a shirtfront. I guess we find something out now: are these two going to play for themselves and their own need to 'get runs', or are they going to learn from the previous rest, realise that we have already lost 50 overs to rain in this one with an iffy forecast and score quickly to try and force the winning position. Even if it risks losing their wickets...
