Don't you hate last wicket partnerships?

Not for Hants or England........but this is getting very tense.

That RR for us keeps on creeping up. And from here, it will begin to shoot up.

I think you have to credit the good tail end batting. Saved the game for them.

 

[Saints_Alive]

Frustrating but Hants couldn't have done much more on this last day. Great game to watch though,

Fair play to those two, brilliantly dug in.

 

[Saints_Alive]

Haha....Kev James sounds gutted...

Surrey win the toss and decide to........field?
At The Oval? Wow. Bold decision.

Currie coming in for Crane certainly suggests this isn't a usual Oval pitch though. Ordinarily, two spinners is almost a must.

Vince did suggest last week that with Surrey's poor start, he wouldn't be surprised if they left some grass on the wicket this week.

Somerset do the same at Taunton.

Come on lads let's pile up an unbeatable first innings score again.

Could they tone down the colour on the stream, it's making my eyes hurt...

True, but I still think it's a risky call to bowl first. To justify the decision they need 3 wickets by lunch minimum. I wonder what Vince would have done.

Nice extra cover drive Joe.

Better after I clicked on HD.

Nipping about, not quite a green top, but plenty in it.

Lewis Gregory gets Sam Robson caught behind with a Jaffa! Huge wicket, 17-1.

 

[Saints_Alive]

Someone suggesting Weatherley out and Felix Organ coming in, what's Organ's form in the second XI like?

 

[Saints_Alive]

Hmm, wonder what Abbott and Abbas would've been like this morning?

 

[Saints_Alive]

Need to knuckle down and get through to lunch with no further damage.
