Going off for bad light. They're very angry about the umpires taking them off for bad light just after the wicket.
We don't want to go off. Bowling very well. Surrey commentators saying the light hasn't deteriorated in the last 10 mins since the umpires told us it was okay.
Seems like a good position... keep batting all day and see where we are at lunch tomorrow.
Now I don't want to start Dernbach bashing... I'm glad the he is back in contention for the championship side and I'm glad we have options to rotate. But his role in the side is to be keeping an end tight adding pressure whilst the others take the wickets. Yet he's being our most expensive bowler. If he's gonna get hit and not take wickets we might as well play Meaker. A genuine wicket taker with something different and a yard more pace than anyone else in the side.
Some good news being rumored that Roy is fed up with not playing in the IPL and is looking to come home early. In an interview he said it was a waste of time. So we may see him in the next few weeks in the build up to the England Ireland match. Sibley's place under pressure if he doesn't start scoring runs...
I thought that a number 5 was to help push the score along. Mr Sibley seems to do the opposite. I wonder how many bonus points we miss out on with him?

Yes he's very much a top 3 batsman. Not suited to the 5 slot at all. The trouble is he's class. And you want to fit him in somewhere. I suspect Mr Roy will take his sport when he returns.
The odd thing is that in the one day stuff he is a totally different player. I don't understand how he can't transfer that into the championship. He seems to be doing better today so can't complain.
Foakes holes out for 21. He was trying to up the pace to ensure max batting points. He was going well so should have just carried on what he was doing.

A quote from George Dobell's report on cricinfo. What a line...
Surrey are 22 ahead.
Sam Curran to the crease.
He's shut me up! The last 30 or so runs have come very quickly. Motoring now.
