LAST TIME OUT
Last weekend, Surrey beat Lancashire by an innings and 63 runs. Rory Burns won the toss and was rewarded as openers Wells and Jennings departed to leave Lancashire 33/2. No Lancashire player reached 50 as Surrey bowled the visitors out for 204. New ball duo Dan Worrall (3/31) and Jordan Clark (4/57) did the damage for Surrey.
In response, Rory Burns smashed a career-best 227 as Surrey reached 444/9 before declaring. Burns’ chanceless knock was well supported by Ben Foakes’ 82.
Surrey declared late on the second day with bad weather forecast for Saturday. Just five balls were possible at the end of day two before bad light halted Surrey. Just 10.2 overs were possible on Saturday evening but Surrey did prize the big wicket of Wells. Surrey started the final day needing nine wickets for victory and got the prized wicket of Lancs skipper Keaton Jennings to leave the visitors 33/2. Surrey took wickets at regular intervals as Lancashire were bowled out for 177 before tea to give Surrey victory by an innings and 63 runs. Surrey took 23 vital points from the game.
