What are we saying as a total that will put a win beyond Surrey's reach...450+?

If that’s it for today then that’s a good start, only 4 wickets down on first day and decent weather for batting tomorrow

Northants must be getting annoyed at losing a big wicket the ball before coming off.

Much like what happened against us, Cobb wasn't it?

Yeah - to happen once is unfortunate. To happen twice, in consecutive weeks, must be infuriating.

At least they weren't walking off this time!

Don't forget it happened to us up at Yorkshire, definitely once and possibly twice. I think one was Holland, not sure about other one without double-checking the scorecard.

Obviously it was annoying that Gay was dismissed at the end there, but if they can get close to 400 it will certainly make Surrey work hard for their points.

 

[tomw24]

Lancs deducted 6 points in the CC. Ouch.

 

[tomw24]

Going very well so far.

New ball not too far off, but importantly Northants' batting is strengthened this week with the selection of Zaib.

Oh well done! He gets out to a part-timer for 4 now!

 

[tomw24]

Keogh should just go on the attack now.

Bloody Surrey are never down for long, they even get a better deal with the weather, it's fricken raining everywhere below the Watford Gap and their forecast is dry..

 

[tomw24]

Northants 339 all out. TBF I would have taken that before a ball was bowled.

 

[tomw24]

Nice, Burns out early.

Patel's gone - Surrey 30-2.

 

[Saints_Alive]

I'm saying nothing....

Patel's gone - Surrey 30-2.

Almost a whole session lost too
I’d say it’s going ok so far

Overs will be made up today and tomorrow though.

Geddes out - 46-3.

 

[tomw24]

Smith gone - Surrey now 80-4.

Didn’t realise they did that on later days

It's a very civilised and sedate way of adding on extra time, just to make the finish more exciting

 

[st_brendy]

I think if you offered me Surrey to be all out for 299, I'd probably take that.

Obviously I'd much rather 199. But that's looking unlikely right now.
