Maybe we'll chase this? Ah

Admittedly 1st innings

Pope?

Foakes is busy!

Roy has a bust face, and I might be wrong, but I don't think he has played any red ball cricket this year

Pope's only ever kept in two or three first class games, it'll be Buttler or Foakes. If they do take him that leaves us with just Burns, lol.

Roy's an absolute tool for doing that, still can't believe it.

Oh yes. I missed the Roy thing. Must have been a hell of a middle on that bat!

They could move Pope down to 5 which is where I'd think he'd more comfortable.

Honestly though, they'll go with Moeen.

RIP Keaton

Buttler to keep wicket, Burns in at three would be my preference.

Fair play to the Indian steamers. They’ve been brilliant in this match.

Bumrah’s action is quite a horrible thing to look at however.

Clatter.

I've always had a soft spot for unorthodox actions esp when they get results it's ugly but effective. Malinga my favorite not forgetting Tommo

Vic Marx talking about nabbing another of Surrey's - Rory Burns
Great profile pic, but another lefty?

Edit: grrrr - pic won't link

Burns action is rather lovely.

Good resolve from Buttler and Stokes

if i was an indian fan, i'd be flicking cigarette butts at stokes when he takes to the field

Jos!

Excellent. For me at least, it is a very big (and pleasant) surprise for him and Stokes to be the ones to dig in from that batting lineup.

That’s that the 2 in 2 with the new ball. Keeps the series alive nicely especially since we have an onshore team from India so tha banter keeps on flying.

Got to love the mash up of tradition & pantomime that sees a 5th day for just 17 balls instead of letting play continue last night.

And the will they/won't they charge a tenner for the privilege too!

Surrey need one wicket. Lancs need 6 runs. Then this happens

Fucking hell, what a game

Jack Leach back fit and just taking career best figures of 8-85 off 40 odd overs, got to be back in and around the squad soon surely.

India have some of the best young cricketers in the world and they don’t get in the squad. Would’ve loved to see Shubman Gil or Prithvi Shaw

Prithvi Shaw brought into the squad - exciting to see if he gets a game!

what a catch !!!

Tears of joy at Vince's return?
