It wasn't easy but Woakes has good hands and probably should do better there...

Absolutely, alluded to it on here on day 1 re. Pollard.

We've bowled well again here, could easily be 3 down...so frustrating.

The umpiring over the past 2 games has been diabolical.

Woakes was terrific, showed that if you can hold line and length you will get rewards, there is just enough in this pitch if you bowl well for sustained periods.

State of this umpiring lol

Thompson on Clarke then AGAIN, what is that not hitting?!

Woakes had a extremely close shout on Clarke prior to Tea too. Agreed, we've bowled well without luck here.

Henry Brookes dismissed for 89 v Derbyshire gutted for him, thought the ton was on.

Woakes with an absolute pill to get rid of Haseeb Hameed.

I thought we'd get to 400 but I gave us no chance of the 450 inside 110. Great batting.

Didn't play v Essex either, his wicketkeeping is still a work in progress.

Just think we've done really well after being shoved in this morning against a very, very decent bowling attack.

Surrey won County Championships playing like this, being 160/6 before the lower middle order and tail get to work against the older ball and walk off with 400.

Subbed in, opening.

150/3 in the middle session, we'll take that. Welcome runs for the skipper.

3 out of the 6 wickets have been done on the leading edge which may suggest the pitch is a little bit two paced.

Did ex Notts Paul Pollard give that? Hmmm...

Was shaping up to be a decent session, just falling away now with that wicket of Dan Mousley, who played ever so well. Pitch looks a little two paced, ideal overheads though.

Still a strong side without him.

He's injured.

A good test for us this weekend...
