Surrey’s first-drop Jason http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rory-Hamilton-Brown-c2366 decided to bat first at the toss. The one-down batsman scored a terrific knock of 101 runs off just 95 balls, which remained the highest score of the match until the
end.
The hosts were under immense pressure to chase down a massive total. Their batsmen were unable to cope up with the situation, as the entire team was dismissed for 152 runs in 29 overs.
There was not much change in the pitch, as it was hard and dry. However, it was not easy to play big shots, as the ball was not coming onto the bat with a consistent pace and bounce like the first innings.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Varun-Chopra-c2745 and Neil Carter walked out in the middle to start the proceeding for Warwickshire. The former was the first batsman to be dismissed in the innings after adding just 11 runs to the total.
This brought veteran http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Chanderpaul-c2390 in the middle. He did not take much time to settle down, smashing two fours and one six at the start of his innings.
The Caribbean class act failed to make most of the start he got to his innings, as he got out after scoring 17 runs off 12 balls. He was followed by Carter, who managed 13 runs in his short outing.
Ireland’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/WTS-Porterfield-c2801 was unable to make an impression, getting dismissed after managing just a couple of runs in his short stay at the crease. He was followed by the team’s skipper Jim Troughton, who collected 13 runs in his unimpressive knock.
Wicketkeeper batsman Tim Ambrose also failed to guide his side out of trouble, getting out for 5. He was the sixth batsman to be dismissed in the innings, leaving the hosts in deep trouble at 74/6.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Keith-Henderson-Barker-c70622 looked to attack the bowlers, but did not last long in the middle. He got out after scoring 17 runs off 12 balls with the help of a couple of sixes.
Adding insult to injury, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Christopher-Liam-Metters-c50912, who managed 1 run in his short outing.
