"Leus du Plooy haunted Gloucestershire once again with an unbeaten 98 as Middlesex reached 279-5 on a truncated first day of the County Championship season at a gloomy Lord's. The South African-born left-hander produced another classy innings, including 10 fours, and shared an unbroken sixth-wicket stand of 85 with Joe Cracknell."
"Gloucestershire's bowlers were a little short in length and bowled too many down leg-side. One such delivery brought the breakthrough as De Caires was strangled out, James Bracey taking a fine low catch off the bowling of Matt Taylor."
