You join me LIVE from the County Ground, Hove. The covers are coming off and there's an inspection due at 1300.

Looks like more rain on the way, though.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Still raining in RH12 - has been all morning.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Fecking horrible in Southampton.





























Oh, and it's also raining...

Poor Hoppo and Murington Percival Goodwin

 

[CHAPPERS]

Bat until 400 and declare innit.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

Tough one to call this. I would have been tempted to declare last night in an effort to try and win the game. As it is i think Grizz will declare on 400.

Try and get to 400ish by lunch without losing too many wickets, then hit out to get past 500 quickly.

4 and a half sessions to get 20 wickets?

Although with Kirtley and Rayner in the attack it is unlikely.

 

[Mendoza]

The forecast is for long dry spells tomorrow, so it will be hard to get wickets and we need to get more runs to cover Ramprakash's innings

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

John Lees has left the studio, are they doing two seperate commantarys..

340 for 5

Yep get the bonus points then have a bowl, lets hope Ollie has a good day.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Ollie "big calves" Rayner will DESTROY Ramprakash

 

[keaton]

Get to 400, have a bit of slog with Wright then put them in

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Well done Matt Prior another 50.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Can't see anything but a draw here unless there's a ridiculous declaration from Surrey - we just don't have the bowling to get through their batting twice in 5 sessions. I'll enjoy being proved wrong but would be looking to maximise the bonus points if I were Grizzle.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Prior out for 51 373-6

May need Luke to slog us to our bonus point

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

Well done Matt Prior another 50.

Exactly. The pitch is way too placid to get even Ramps out twice, let alone their whol order. Bat through until 400, slog until lunch and get them in after lunch. Unless we get to 400 quick smart and maybe get them in for a quick go at them before lunch.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Kirtley goes for 19 lb

15 overs to get our runs

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Rain forecast for later. We're not bowling them out twice for 400 by COP tomorrow I'm afraid.
