Image source, PA MediaI'm not sure if some of the crowd have gone out for refreshments but the volume is somewhat lower as Rob Cross walks on than it was for the first match.
It's up a bit again for Luke Humphries but hopefully the queues aren't too long because the crowd have been brilliant so far tonight.
Rob Cross speaking to Sky Sports: "I am back on stage, the timing has been a bit poor this week in Leicester. I'm back on stage and where I want to be with a great crowd and great venue. I'm enjoying it. If I can win it tonight it would be great.
"I seem to get Luke Humphries to go up a level, but I like playing him because he gets on with it and there's no antics. I'm looking forward to it."

Luke Humphries has been brilliant in the past couple of weeks. He will have left the arena last week thinking 'how did I not win the night?'.
There would have been some satisfaction though, he's getting to grips with the Premier League now.
It's only a matter of time before he wins a night.

Will he go one better tonight?

He'll be aiming to reach his first final of the year as he tries to force his way into the top four.
