The bad news regarding Surrey is that Pope is back in the squad (and he always scores an absolute mountain of runs against us) but the good news is Foakes has been rested by the ECB. Smith is a competent keeper but he's not Foakes.

I see Turner's back in the squad. Given our bowling struggles without Barker in the side I definitely want to see him included in the side tomorrow.

Website says he'll be travelling as 13th man, unfortunately.

So more medium pace mediocrity from Holland as first bowling change then. Great.

Maybe not - Wheal's in. OK, happy enough with that.

Jaffa from Abbott. Sibley's off stump gone for a walk. Need to make the most of the new ball.

Bowled Kyle!, neck and crop

Kyle's on it today, bowling with a great rhythm.

BIG wicket.

 

[tomw24]

Bit unfortunate for Pope but I'll take it!

 

[tomw24]

Another big wicket!

 

[tomw24]

Right before tea as well. Excellent.

 

[tomw24]

4 down!

 

[tomw24]

Well done Mo.

 

[Saints_Alive]

Well done Mo.

Just seen his figures, the very definition of economical.

 

[st_brendy]

That was an awful hour of cricket.

No wickets, one boundary, 31 runs.

****ing Rory Burns!...

****ing Rory Burns!...

TBH it's better him than Smith or Pope because if they were still at the crease they'd be past 250 by now.
