BBC Wales Sport's Dafydd Pritchard at Sophia Gardens:
"While One Direction and the Manic Street Preachers prepare to play at the Millennium Stadium and Cardiff Castle respectively, it's a little more sedate a few yards down the road as Glamorgan host Middlesex.
"There isn't quite the same legion of screaming teenagers inside the Swalec Stadium, but there is a sense of contentment with Glamorgan's steady start."
