Surrey v Warwickshire

A very commanding day after a morning which looked like it could have gone either way. Sibley will get his share of low scores across the year, but he is one of the few opening batsmen in the country now that is capable of batting all day (and he would probably have done so without the daft run-out). Jamie Smith made batting look simpler than anyone else, and Ben Foakes (with excellent support from Cameron Steel) took advantage of a perfect batting afternoon, an easing pitch and  surprisingly lacklustre Warwickshire change-bowling (who's Henry Brookes?!!)

We will almost certainly have enough runs to ensure we don't lose the game, so it is now a question of whether the attack we have selected can bowl them out twice in temperatures of 36-40 degrees.

Thank you. The "potential superstar" had a bit of a mare today - 11 overs for 70.  Danny Briggs, on the other hand, did what any captain would want his spinner to do on the first day when it's very hot and conditions are ideal for batting: bowl lots of overs cheaply. 23 overs for 43 was a great effort.

It’s surely in our own hands to win the CC,just keep winning and we can’t be caught!!
