Key opts for spin and brings on Min Patel. He bowls well and a single comes from the over.

Surrey Innings 8th Over


Ramprakash goes on the attack and scores the first six of the innings. 15 runs come from the over, surely Key will take off Henderson after this over.

over85qe.jpg

Patel puts the brakes on Surrey with a Maiden over. Dispite not getting much movement he's bowling well.

Surrey Innings 10th Over

Darren Stevens bowls and Surrey make 11 runs.

scorecard10overs9hx.jpg


Surely Surrey will attack now, after a shakey start Brown and Ramprakash are putting together a solid partnership for the second wicket and although Kent are restricting the run rate they dont look like taking a wicket.

Middlesex win the toss and decide to get first use of the pitch

3/0 at over end.

In other Matches

Sussex 126-5
Surrey 123
Sussex win by 5wickets

Essex 162-3
Hants 158-7
Essex win by 7wickets

The result sees Kent sitting comfortably at the top of the table. Surely nobody would have suspected this before the start of the season, especially with Kent missing their one day specialist Justin Kemp.
