From the odd clip I've seen seems to be a bit of swing. Is the ball starting to reverse?

This is what I was saying about Crane being a dream when you have runs on the board. He's getting the ball to turn away from the right-handers, on a pitch that has done nothing for anyone else.

Sod the boundaries he's leaking in between.

Dawson confirmed in the test team.

Ervine drops Burns on 98 off Fidel. He had to jump at slip, but he should have caught it.

And now Burns edges short of (a vacant) second slip off Abbott.

7 down, 6 overs to get 2 wickets and maximum bonus points.

Still got a decent chance of putting Surrey under some pressure tomorrow.

Burns dropped at 2nd slip for the 2nd time. Could cost us that final bonus point.

This partnership has probably cost us any chance tomorrow.

Rossouw this time, he's getting close to omission territory as he isn't contributing anything at all to the team.

Took a great catch to remove Foakes though, apparently.

Suspect that is the draw secured for Surrey. Even if we were to bowl Surrey out tomorrow morning for below the FO mark, there surely won't be enough time left to take a further 10 wickets and then knock off whatever Surrey would almost certainly be setting us. Needed to bowl them out for under 400 really - and to be fair to the boys, they did their best, the two drops aside.

Fair enough, I missed that.

9 down, still 45 shy of the follow on target.

Surrey follow on 165 behind, draw still massively odds on, but stranger things have happened!

[st_brendy]

Yet another dropped slip catch, Stoneman this time off Berg (I didn't see it though).

For all our four day improvement this year, it probably has to be our worst fielding season I can ever remember. Consistently drop catches.
