Surrey.
Looking forward to my first (and probably only) game live this season. First time been to a home out ground, relatively easy to get to from London.
Unchanged squad for this one.
We’ve lost the toss and bat.
Rhodes
Barnard*
Shaikh
Burgess
Smith
Benjamin+
Lintott
T Ali
OHD
Yates
Booth
Slightly frustrating progress. It's not a terror pitch but slightly stodgy. Outfield is a touch slow and lost three batsmen when set. Some things you don't notice on the stream is the difference between the batsmen at nurdling the ball into space. Yates couldn't really do it at all, Hamza started well but got a bit bogged down while Burgess seems to do it well. Guess it's the point of this competition...
Great effort from Benjamin this.
Was really pleased to see Chris Benjamin play a big innings. He's had a tough time this season, and hopefully will continue to do well for the rest of the season.
Chris Benjamin where have you been!? A score at lomg last.
What do we think is the par score on this ground?
I'm sure that it was because of our constant support for him that Robinson stuck with Chris Benjamin.
I think we're a touch behind. It's playing quite slow, spinners are doing well as are the more medium seamers. It was Surrey's quicker bowlers that went for runs, only time the ball came onto the bat well. We didn't work the ball into the gaps all that well, no idea how good Surrey are at this with their line up.

Yes, the power of this forum!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully we can rely on Dom Sibley to block through 50 overs.
I've lost count of how many they've edged. At least four edges have gone for four plus other ones not gone to hand
We could do with some luck here, everything going Surrey’s way
My fault for suggesting that Dom Sibley might bat Surrey out of the game - he seems to be doing the opposite.
9 an over required now

But at least he is scoring at less than a run a ball and long may he continue to do so!!
Up to 11 an over required
Bringing Lintott on for OHD seems strange
