Saying that the forecast for tomorrow is awful
Over to you chaps

Thanks, JimBob. Completely agree on the team.

Very annoying weather forecast - hope the Corporal can come up with something better . Particularly as I'm going tomorrow. Also, we seem to have hit good form whilst Glamorgan were pulverised by Jimbo's Hants today - don't want to be sharing the points.

No kidding: Surrey have won 5 of our last 6 in all competitions, and our most recent game in each of the three formats comfortably. Qualification for the 1/4s of the One Day Cup is in our own hands - IF the weather relents. As things stand, two wins would do it. Our run rate already is far better than anyone else likely to end with the same number of points. Even if we are rained off tomorrow - or even lose - we might potentially still have a 'winner takes all' final game v Middlesex. Spicy!!

I hope we make the 1/4s then play as we can against whomever. If our best isn't good enough, so be it. But it would be horrible to be left with another 'if only' near miss like the T20.

Forecast not looking good. Fair prospect that most/all of the first innings will be completed. But doubtful that team batting second will get long enough for Duckworth Lewis to kick in.  I imagine that whoever wins the toss will insert the opposition.

Terrible toss for Batty to lose stewards enquiry needed
Surrey team as expected

Surrey  61 - 1 after 8 overs.  Finch out for 17 but Roy already on to 36.

109 - 1 after 14 overs with Roy   on 66* and Davies on 22*.

Bloody rain

Well the rain has rather thwarted another Jason Roy masterclass

Pity about the rain - a little way SSE of London there's been hardly any rain so far this afternoon. Surrey scoring at a very respectable T20 pace - would most likely have achieved a score some way in excess of 350.

Home now. That was very good and very annoying!

Roy had some luck (two lives) but made the most of it and thoroughly entertained for the 19 overs we got against an ordinary Glamorgan side. Typical savagery on anything short or wide but also several beautifully timed legside flicks. I heard from an itk source [ok, JimBob ] that he was distinctly unchuffed to be denied a century.

I knew I was taking a big risk with the weather. However, the really annoying thing was that after a sizeable hold-up which probably didn't need to be as long as it was, all were going back out again when it started raining once more before they got to the middle and that effectively was that. It wouldn't have made any difference to the result but would have allowed Roy the chance of his ton and some deserved satisfaction for the spectators.
