Well, both of our openers did score 40+!

 

Damn, Prest was looking good.

 

Who needs openers though?

 

Very good day. With his SR, Albert had to make sure he stayed in to the close and he did so fair play. Need to make sure we get a 200+ run lead tomorrow and not 100.

 

I would be absolutely amazed and delighted with a 200 run lead, I was going to say that we need to try to push as close to 150 lead as possible. Something around 100 would still leave us in charge, but nowhere near as much as it could and should have been. Even psychologically the extra 50 (to have a ca. 150 lead) makes it sound so much more intimidating and puts us back firmly in charge.

 

150 lead should be the minimum. Tracks at the Bowl usually flatten out on day 2 so no excuse not to bat until at least mid afternoon.

 

@tomw24 , I know that you meant 'bat', not 'bad', but let's hope that 'bad' isn't an unfortunate prophecy!

 

Well spotted.

 

A lead of 150 is my target.

200 would be brilliant. 100 would be underwhelming.

 

Hooray, Dawson's run out Albert! Maybe we can actually score some runs now.

 

Daft run out.

 

19 off 99 balls is pretty abject TBH.

 

Ton for Tommy B

 

Big turn on that ball from Bess there. Dawson will be looking forward to bowling again.

 

Only 1 bowling point for Surrey.

 

Tom Barton 153 no
James Rew 74 no
314-4

Chance of maximum points with 34 overs left

 

How did Brown get the ball down there?

 

Shot!

 

This is top class from Brown.

 

1 short of a batting point and Brown stranded on 49 not out.
