Opposition

Gloucestershire sit third in the Specsavers County Championship Division Two table, having won three and drawn five of their ten matches this season. 

Ryan Higgins (744) and Chris Dent (722) have both scored more than 700 runs in the campaign, with the former averaging 67.64 in Division Two.

With the ball, Higgins again leads the way with 35 wickets at an average of 24.77, while David Payne has claimed 32 dismissals at 26.06 for Gloucestershire this season.

Tomorrow’s visitors have signed young fast-bowler Ben Allison on a four-week loan from Essex, and the 19-year-old is available for selection in the squad for tomorrow.
