    Off for bad light. Probably the end of the day’s play. 17 for 0.

    Great recovery by Notts from 53-5 to close on 219-8.

    Game heading for a draw ( cue Kent being bowled out for 78 and 82 tomorrow)

    I believe Surrey have won Div 1 of the CC in each of the last 3 seasons with 8 wins. They might win it again with 6 victories but could actually be champions with just 4 wins. 

    Just to be clear that when I say this I am not having my usual dig at Surrey, but how can a team win any sporting competition with just 4 wins from 14 matches? A combination, at different times, of Key's Kookaburra ball experiment, poor weather and wickets not suiting spin has contributed to making in making it very difficult for a positive result.

    Sad to see the Oval England Allstars having a bit of a nightmare - from 101-1 to 129-6 with Burns (47), Sibley (14), Pope (11), Foakes (10) and Lawrence (0) all out. 
    Definitely going to be a result there. 
    Yep.
    A Surrey victory 
    Still confident? Burns, Sibley, Pope and Foakes all gone and still needing another 160 runs to win.

    Bizarre how that game is in an exciting 4th innings finish, when elsewhere most games have barely started.

    Need to break this partnership straight after lunch because although all the others can bat, they are all going to struggle to hand around in these seam friendly conditions - Tom Curran is in next and he has a FC average of just 19.47 from 86 innings. It's then Atkinson (20.42), Fisher (18.36), Lawes (16.06) and Worrall (13.24).

    What happens to bowling points/batting points when the game is rained off after 1 team has batted? Unlikely as Kent are to get any batting points, it does seem unfair they won't have an opportunity to when you can get more batting points than bowling

    Well someone has to do it for "Surrey no mates". You can hear a pin drop on their thread - their supporters have said more about the stripey Nigels on CL in the last 16 days than they have about their own cricket team. In fact, you've said more on this thread than there.

    Afraid that is the way it is structured. It is quite unusual for only one team to get to bat in a match though. We also did win the toss and elected to bowl.

    Might need Fanny to do a rain  dance later

    Patel, Curran and Lawrence gone. 69 to win with 3 wickets in hand.

    Taking the spinner off immediately is one of the worst bits of captaincy I've seen all year, and I play club 3s

    Justice served. The tail end destroyer that is Josh Tongue is doing just that.

    34 runs needed and the final pair at the crease

    As I said yesterday, I don't think that any team should become CC champions with just four wins. Notts, providing they draw their final game, will do so with six wins which is more respectable.

    Glamorgan promoted from Div 2 with Leicestershire. Not a pair anyone would have expected to go up!
