The more runs scored by Surrey down the order, the more hope I have that Kent might be able to bat out a draw. The pitch is clearly as flat as anything.
 
The match is clearly over, but the players can't go out thinking like that. They have to try and optimise their chances of scoring 299 - and for me that means Holland and Organ taking on Cook, or whoever bowls without the name Harmer on their back.

Now sure Cook is a very good bowler, and will probably get one or both of them out. But Harmer will get them out anyway, so there's nothing to lose.

If they're not prepared to attack from the off, then open with Vince.
 
The chase is on!

Only joking, I realise that as soon as 1 wicket goes, that will probably be 2 or 3 quickly and the whole atmosphere will change. However, it would make things interesting if we can, somehow, survive the first hour tomorrow without loss.

I’m hoping for lunch but then I’ve always been a glass half full type. Nothings done until …..
 
Well done guys. Even on a decent wicket we wouldn't usually get a 50 run opening partnership.
 
When you consider that with this many runs on the board in the previous three innings, the batting sides were 5-down, 6-down and 5-down, it's mightily impressive. If a little, um, scary.
 
Organ looks quite solid against Harmer, whereas Holland looks all at sea. But whilst he's still there, it doesn't matter. The bounce has tended to die down in this match after about the 40th over, so the longer Holland can hang in there, the better.
