Interesting that there's a third man in right away

We failed to get a batting point I think? Just 2 runs more......

Yeah

How many do we need this session do we think? 4?

To further the above I tried to pause the live stream at the point the ball got to Foakes and it definitely looks like it hit the floor.

I wish we could have had a close up because I have never seen a keeper who felt the need to immediately claim that the ball had not hit the floor, as Foakes did. I thought that was most strange!! It’s the cynic in me.

Well the rain has helped us today. I wonder how daring Surrey will be.

There is an argument for declaring now so they can bowl with the new ball at 1030.

I think it'll be a declaration once a draw is secured rather than the dangling the carrot type.

A draw keeps them in first even if Notts win.

Draw away to Surrey is an OK result and had it been 100% dry we probably would lose - so could be worse. Having said that, Notts and Hants will probably win and Soms will probably draw with more BPs so we lose ground in every direction. Still a bit to play though we did hold our own for a while against a stronger team. Have to make the points back in the last two games.
