Surrey’s bowlers did a good job towards the end of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 on Thursday, June 30, 2011.
The visitors were batting well and appeared to take their score past 180 in their innings, but they lost their way towards the end of the innings and managed 169 for the loss of seven wickets in the end.
However, the Surrey batsmen failed to make an impression and were restricted to 131 for the loss of eight wickets in their outing. Jason Roy was the top scorer for his team, collecting 32 runs.
The playing conditions didn’t change much, but batting was a bit more difficult compared to the first innings. The wicket became slower and the ball was not coming onto the bat, which made life difficult for the hosts.

Wicketkeeper batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rory-Hamilton-Brown-c2366 opened the innings for their side. Their start was very crucial for the team, as the ball was easy to hit when it was hard and new.
However, the latter failed to get going, as he was sent back to the pavilion after adding just one run to the total. He was struggling to find the middle of his bat and faced seven deliveries to score his only run.
The innings was then steadied by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Symonds-c44611 and Davies, as the pair managed 29 runs for the second wicket partnership.

off 20 balls. He struck four boundaries in his outing.
Tom Maynard was the next man to be dismissed after managing just one run in his short outing. He was followed by Roy, who was batting very well. He didn’t seem to have any problems in the middle and struck six fours for his 32 runs from 22 balls.
South Africa’s, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zander-de-Bruyn-c98565 and Matthew Spriegel were the next two batsmen to follow. They collected 11 and one in their respective outings and the hosts were struggling at 73/6.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yasir-Arafat-c98241 and Zafar Ansari tried to fight back for Surrey, but it was a little too late in the end. They collected 19 and 24 respectively, but the team only reached 131 at the end of their allotted 20 overs.
