Remarkable that Surrey made 671-9 declared, and not a single batsmen got to 100.

Great start with two quick wickets albeit one a night watchman. York’s 69-4 but Root/Brook at the crease. Arguably their two best batters.

Great delivery by Parky to bowl Brook who was looking dangerous.

The Yawkshire TV commentary is dreadful, totally self centred - in fact their Youtube channel hasn`t been up to much with it`s constant technical faults.

Leach just taken a timely five-for; an achievement that I’m sure will go down well with some in these quarters.

You can see why the counties care so much about the shorter form of the game. This is a roses match on a Saturday in the sun with England players playing and there is like a hundred people there watching.

Alex Lees is doing well again for Durham. Skippered the Lions tour in the winter as well, so it wouldn’t surprise me if Stokes backed him to return.

Pity. I just checked and an adult ticket for today is 18 pounds. I think the equivalent at Surrey is 15 pounds and membership at the Oval is around 220 pounds for the season, which I believe gets you entry into almost everything.

York’s 211/5 wkts @ 2:30 pm.

I pay 144 quid for county cricket and 50 overs games at the Oval. Maximum 34 days of cricket, 15 quid at the gate. Its worth it just to wander around the lovely pavilion, not forgetting the smart new stand.
