Rain made a result look unlikely but Lanky to declare or get out. Jennings out of 96 going for a big shot. 202 ahead and they will be looking for 250.

Time for Lancs to declare, isn't it? Or have they decided this game can't be won?

Certain draw……….

Thought they would declare soon after a 250 lead to get 8 in before lunch and rest. Fully expected it once 300 ahead, 339 now at lunch seems very cautious. T20 batting for the last hour or so.

Not officially declared yet, 68 left so Essex would need 5 an over to win.

Declared as expected now. Needs the Burnley Express to get a fifer in his swan song (possible).

Burns out and Surrey sitting on 54-1 chasing 243. Abbott bowling to Pope; an ecclesiastical contest for a Sunday?

32-2.....may have a sneaky chance here.

Surrey motor away from Hampshire and end up with a surprising 9-wicket victory. Did not see that coming yesterday or even this morning. Pope is looking in really good nick (122 not out) and with Foakes already having a century this season, that augurs well for England.

Just been down there, Pope was majestic.

Hampshire commentators were crestfallen. Two sixes to finish and I think there was still another hour of play left as well. Good to see Sibley get some runs. Strange game because Hampshire were rather let off the hook on Thursday and then the weather on Friday suggested a draw. No game next weekend and then up to Warwickshire.

Vince had a stinker,both as a captain and as a batsman.
