Ricky Ponting takes a slip catch to get rid of Shivnarine Chanderpaul

Surrey closed 417 runs behind on 35-1, with Rory Burns the man to go.

Derbyshire resumed day two on 232-2 and Chanderpaul was soon taken low down by Ponting being caught in two minds by a rising ball from Stuart Meaker (3-98).

Wes Durston made only six before Tremlett had him caught behind by Steven Davies and Ben Slater followed in the same fashion for seven.

Madsen spent five-and-a-half hours and the crease and hit 17 boundaries, before being bowled by Meaker.

However, Johnson's 135-ball innings contained eight fours and helped push the home side well beyond 400

Surrey's reply got off to a dreadful start when Burns was run out by a direct hit by Madsen, attempting a third run following a mis-field.

But Arun Harinath (13 not out) and Vikram Solanki (10) saw the visitors through to the close.
