Much though I hate Surrey and everything it stands for, I do love Kemar Roach. He’s not much taller than me for all love - and a West Indian quick(ish) of the old school.

Does The Haye's Close end have a thatched roof?

Umeed (Somerset) must be the worst batter in Division One. Last week he only faced three balls across both innings but hit a boundary with the other. Today it's a second ball duck.

Surrey fielding a weakened side against Essex with only Roach and Lawes having much First XI experience among the bowlers. Batters look OK but Josh Blake has the gloves instead of Smith and Foakes.

Can’t remember the last time a bowler got booed at a championship game. Dan Lawrence has come on…

@Surrey Phil I think when the side came out it was announced as three first class debuts?

We’re down our first choice keeper too, to balance things up. Peps has a hurty finger.

Barring an Essex win, Somerset are 52-3 in the 2nd-3rd place play-off.

Lancashire must be getting frustrated with the rain delay start. Just had a shower down here after a bit of sunshine. What is it looking like in Chelmsford?

Lawrence is going at five and a half. It’s causing much joy in the stands
