Match State: Lunch
The Northerns openers made a steady start, with both reaching the
fifty mark. They were held back in the middle of the innings by
some accurate bowling by the two left-arm spinners Stevens and
September, but a spectacular onslaught by Dros at the end o
of the innings saw them too a healthy target. The pitch still
appears full of runs, so we should have a good contest when play
resumes in about 30 minutes
