From Cricinfo report:

Even more encouraging for the home side was that they had taken three batting points in the opening game compared to last season when it took them four matches to pick up the same number of batting points.

Well done County.

I thought things were looking a bit shaky at 190/5, I wasn't that confident about having 5 bowlers with White at 7 but fair play to him for a decent 50 and we're in a decent position.

We must have scored 43 runs in the last 6 overs if the above posts are correct and most of that was down to White. Good stuff.

Fair play, he did bugger all with the bat last year despite being tagged as an allrounder. Was thinking he was keeping the allrounder spot warm for mcdonald, but he has made a case for himself!

I take it Benning is injured?

I presume so, he missed a friendly earlier this week. I'd actually forgotten about him today so yes, he would have been in front of White (or Nixon?) too.
