    Maybe it's not a spinner's track, we still have Briggs and Dawson to bowl yet.

    It was these two who helped Surrey get up to something half-decent at the RB in match one. But it still wasn't enough.

    That's Surrey's first boundary since the fourth ball of the fifth over, the ball immediately before Dimi got Davies!!!

    Sensational 20 overs, even despite that last ball 6. Brilliant bowling unit, yet again.

    Great effort by the Royals to restrict Surrey to 126 after the flying start....Should be fairly straightforward to score just over 6 an over...but you never know!

    So long as the at least one of the top two get off to a flier. I can't help but wonder if we'll miss Macca.

    Surrey have batted first in every match so far (complete opposite to us, as we've bowled first in every one).

    They started by failing to defend 139 against us, but they then went and defended 157, 176, 139 and 147. Winning run then ended by failing to defend 148.

    Best limited overs batsman in the country right now. Not a bad start.

    If we can get 40-50 for 1 or 2 from the powerplay then it should be game over.

    Yeah, I wouldn't advise conceding free hits to Carberry.

    There isn't exactly a plethora of talent ready to replace him though.

    Not quite as tight a position as when Sussex gave us those four overthrows.

    Damm!

    James Taylor. And Ed Joyce is having a cracking season, although is unlikely to want to give up on Ireland again.

    But id stick with KP.
