In the lead!

 

Well played Barks.

 

I'd settle for 200. A batting point and a handy looking 41 run lead.

 

Soft dismissal.

 

H 175 - 8.

 

Bizarrely, both our game and Surrey's game are kind of mirroring each other, except there's 100 less innings runs in our game.

 

That's an even worse drop

 

Another drop!

 

Hopefully the light holds enough to allow most/all of these remaining overs to be bowled tonight. We could get a decent number of them at Yorks tonight (I'm assuming we'll be bowled out fairly soon), which in turn means we could get quite deep into the Yorks innings - across tonight and tomorrow morning - without needing to go away from our big three.

Batting point secured.

 

Instructions:

Abbas: Block
Fuller: Swing for the fences!

 

Abbas not reading the script!

 

That might be the best shot Abbas has ever played for us!

 

4 first up

 

Right, time to swing away Fuller.

 

Yes!

 

It's quite fitting that the umpire's (Neil Mallender) nickname is 'Ghost' and, due to the way the sunlight is shining down the pitch on the live stream pictures, you can't really see his arm or finger when he raises it to give him out. Well done Abbas!

 

TKC is a lucky boy

 

The batsman pulled away very late there. Lucky the umpire called a dead ball.

 

Took a while for the finger to go up, but there's the breakthrough.

 

Jamie Overton injured for Surrey. That's after Worrall withdrew from the match in the warm up on day 1.
