    A bit of a recovery. Surrey 69-3. Elgar 27, Foakes 18. Sensible batting, although the odd ball is still passing the outside edge.

    Lunch. Surrey 92-4. Elgar 37no, Pope 13no.

    Morning session to Yorkshire. Helpful bowling conditions, and a green tinge to the wicket. Going for a look myself at lunchtime, as We are normally allowed on the outfield.

    Had a look at the wicket. Some live grass in two strips about six inches wide from crease to crease, so it looks like a result wicket. 200-250 will be a good first innings score, as with the opening game against Hampshire.

    Back on after lunch. Have moved from the Pavilion to the Bedser Stand. Wi-fi is not as strong here so may drop out at times. 96-4.

    Bairstow standing up to Patterson. Saw his old man hit the ball out of the ground and into the now derelict Crickters pub.

    119-4. Elgar 50no & 50 partnership.

    Root is firing in his off spinners. Lovely square cut by Sam for 4. 143-5.

    Bouncer from Bresnan, hooked for 4 in front of square by Curran. Then pulls away as Bresnan is about to bowl the follow-up. Pigeon trouble.

    Bailing out now.

    Surrey 148-5. Pope 31, Curran 10.

    Keep posting the scores!

    Bad light brings the players off with three and a bit overs to go, and that's it for the day.

    Surrey 366-7, Pope 131* and McKerr 27*

    A poor start, but it's definitely been our day.

    Trouble is that the wicket will probably become a batsmans paradise and we will have to settle for another borefest draw.
    Here's hoping I'm wrong.

    Watched a bit on thw YouTube stream. We did the one thing that we always seem to fail to do - speed up the innings just when it needed to. Clarke sped up well and Pope followed. Even when Clarke got out Pope kept the pace up and once he had his hundred he really started to motor. It took just 45 balls to go from 300 to 350. Shame we had to go off for bad light as momentum really was with us. Everything was going our way - every edge was going for 4. Mckerr was playing some lovely drives and Pope was destroying them. Experienced bowlers like Bresnan didn't look like they had the answer.

    Hope we can carry that on and pass 400 tomorrow. Trouble is if we lose one wicket we have nothing left. Dernbach at 10 is still laughable.

    Good recovery and defo our day overall.

    Great knock from Pope.
    I'm at The Oval tomorrow, so might try to chip in with a few updates.Looking forward to seeing Pope bat (that'll be the kiss of death then !)

    I agree. The commentators did seem to be praising the pitch saying there was some grass on it and it should at the same way tomorrow. They seemed to suggest there were runs there if you stuck at it but it's difficult when you first get in. The new ball will be key.
