That improved a bit, thankfully after a bumpy start. Outfield so slow esp that first hour and with cloud overhead, can see why Derby chose to field. Hopefully these two build on this after lunch.

Good recovery, pity Harris was out over before tea, another 100 before close please

Yeah, he couldn’t have just hung on. Superb innings though, really impressive

Clearly haven't had the weather we've had over here today. 7°, blowing a gale and been pissing down since mid morning. But hey; it's spring time!

Due to land over here over night and mostly clear by 11am tomorrow, but guess the outfield may be too wet to play straight away.

Suns back out again, glorious cricketing weather

It was certainly rather verdant and probably swayed Holland to put Surrey in, but 412-6 at the close suggests he might have misread it.

Perhaps it was just painted green.

Superb to get that wicket of theirs at the end before close, in that last/first 2 over spell too :-)

Weather doesn’t look too bad for tomorrow……a few early wickets would be the perfect start

I was at the Oval today, bit too one sided for my liking.

Yep, until their tail get stuck in…

Bashir’s first double hundred is inevitable.

Derbyshire look like they’re playing for a draw already. Run rate barely 2 an over.

Like normal at the Oval it is a good batting wicket, the criticism is a bit daft if you just judge from that clip.

Looks like an nailed on draw for Lanky with the expected rain, can't see Derbs batting twice.

The ground looks more mowed on the pitches on either side than the pitch they're playing on!

Wouldn’t worry yourself too much. Corky’s not able to process humour.

I never liked playing with cork balls!

Even the premium ones have zero bounce
