Surrey Innings From Shaun Briggs View
Surrey set a formidable score of 207 to win for Yorkshire from 45 overs. The start was slow for Surrey as they failed to make any huge progress and it was only after the 30th over that they really began to rally. As for Shaun Briggs, he should be pretty pleased with his bowling figures from his first game. He picked up the vital wicket of Rikki Clarke who was just starting to get into gear and took a great catch to dismiss Graham Thorpe off the bowling of Richard Dawson.

9-0-46-1
1st Over: Benning hooks Briggs for four, much to the annoyance of Briggs
2nd Over: Benning again takes advantage of more short pitched bowling from Briggs and hooks him for four once more
3rd Over: A better over from Briggs, keeping it very tight and giving very little away
4th Over: Briggs thinks he has taken his first one day wicket when Benning clips one straight to Harvey, but as he turns around he see's the dreaded no ball signal from the umpire. Benning in return smashes Briggs for four from the free hit
5th Over: Thorpe plays and misses a beauty from Briggs, obviously pumped up at bowling at one of England's greats
6th Over: Benning plays and misses this time as Briggs is beginning to bowl better lines
7th Over: Tight over once more from Briggs with only 3 runs coming from it
8th Over: Rikki Clarke is dropped by Harvey and to show how greatful he is smashes the next ball for 6!
9th Over: WICKET! Clarke runs riot in the over before getting too carried away and hitting the ball straight up in the air where Briggs takes a simple caught and bowled chance. The over went
4-6-4-0-0-W
Briggs is into the attack!
