The opportunities are mostly for people at the head of the order but
they also risk getting a small not out, either because they're winning
by several wickets or playing out time in a draw.

Yep. Had Strauss or Cook got out in the second innings at Lord's, Bopara
would presumably have come in at number 3 and so have suffered that
fate.
