Lancashire were bowled out for 230. The last two wickets this morning fell to Footitt, who finished with a career-best 7-62. Burns and Sibley knocked off the 38 required with a minimum of fuss, Burns reaching 1000 runs for the season.
After the start we had its nice to be looking up the table instead of down. We have played a couple more games than the others so safe midtable but no more. I'll take it. Shame that we couldn't just win one of those close games against Middx and I think somerset as we would be in with a chance of winning it!
Surrey all out for 480 in the first innings, Sam Curran weighing in with 96. By stumps we had reduced Lancashire to 203-8, Footitt taking 5-49, meaning their lead is just 10.

Has Sam made a FC century yet ?
On checking, no , he hasnt - 96 is his top score - he must have been gutted when he got out.
Also Surrey playing a championship game at the moment. 260-6 overnight Burns making a hundred. No one else getting anywhere significant. Foakes 45 not out. A lot relies son him and the tail. Need 300. But 350 ideally!
