We could do with Surrey opening up once they feel safe and to start going for the win.

I don’t think they will need telling that. Roy at the crease let’s hope he stays there.
Durham set 308 to win - 7 an over required.
They’ll probably try and bat it out…and don’t you mean Lancashire??

Bah. Yes. Idiothole. And I think you’re right…
Fuck that, Buttler 13 runs off of the 2nd over!!
24 off of 2 overs now, for Buttler that is…
Shit! I guess he’ll have a heave-ho, and once he’s out they’ll batten down the hatches.

Meanwhile Durham are starting to get nervous as Surrey are more than halfway and the afternoon suddenly looks quite long…

Hmm, I’ve seen better predictions, RB – Durham win by 21 runs.
So, they’re safe and with nothing really to play for against us.
A win for us should see us finish above either Warwickshire or Lancashire.
So, there’s still hope.

In my defence, I didn’t expect Surrey to chuck away their last three wickets for 7 runs.
Nice.
