A costly slip?

Lunch. Worcestershire 107 for 1 (30 overs). Mitchell 47, Solanki 10.

Mitchell has batted very well against some decent bowling with Martin and Carter in particular inducing one or two false shots.

Solanki, whose last three championship innings had yielded 0, 0 and 0, again began sketchily and, on 4, edged Woakes to second slip. Maddy failed to hold a sharp but very catchable chance, chest-high.

Could that be the catalyst for a Solanki revival? He's not the sort of chap into whom opponents want to see confidence flooding back!
