Can Durham hang in this now long enough for someone to do a Jordan Thompson in a final over thriller again here...?!

#bbccricket your thoughts

Sam Curran plays one of the shots of the game so far, picking a small gap between cow and long on from a fuller, quicker middle and leg delivery from Callum Parkinson for four.

Clearly the left-arm finger spinner coming into the arc of left-hand bat Curran is a match up the Surrey team have decided to make the most of.

Next ball sails into the crowd for six.

13 off the over.

Durham were 70-6 at this same stage.

Finally we see an aggressive shot off Nathan Sowter.

Slightly legside and too full, picked up over backward square leg for six Sam Curran.

First boundary in 31 deliveries that!

Decent comeback thereafter again from Sowter though.

Ben Raine has the keeper up.

Ollie Robinson is a quality gloveman.

Will Surrey rue not having a first-choice keeper in their XI tonight, will that missed run out by Rory Burns in Durham's innings be costly?

Durham are just putting the squeeze on Surrey here

Nathan Sowter yorks Sam Curran with a quicker, flatter one, but he gets off strike with a misfield at cover.

Dom Sibley pulls out one of the more awkward looking reverse sweeps for two.

Still no boundary for Surrey off the leggie, superb wrist-spin bowling.

Basic maths, Surrey are not halfway towards Durham's 162.

Despite these quarter-finals being staged the week kids go back to school, there is still a decent crowd in at the Oval tonight, though they are slightly subdued currently.

With the run-rate creeping up, this match is bubbling up for a dramatic denouement.

Sam Curran, complete with his forearm guard, still happy to just punch singles...Dom Sibley the one with the 100+ strike-rate still.

George Drissell was Callum Parkinson's second spinner in the Championship last week, but Nathan Sowter does get his go back in the capital tonight.

He has been superb since his move from Middlesex, many have said he deserves England Lions honours at least.

Spinning Durham to victory here on a pitch that Surrey bowled no spin on would do that claim no harm at all.

Just five off his opening over as Sam Curran turns down a push for two last ball.

It is spin that follows De Leede, Callum Parkinson with the first ball of spin of the match fresh off his 61.2 overs bowled between Thursday-Sunday at Taunton just a few days ago...

Durham's captain and leader Alex Lees gives Bas de Leede (BDL) a second over in the powerplay.

(Yes all three bowlers so far have first names beginning with B and plenty of puns available for their names.)

Fellow B-man Burns hits one four but is a bit jumpy before a cheeky single gives Sibley the final ball of the powerplay, which actually it is not because BDL bowls a bouncer over his head.

It is even more costly as the extra ball is too straight and tickled past 45 for four.

Gripping, thrilling T20 cricket this.

None of that IPL 2024 240 plays 242-2, as many more experienced professional cricketers often say, the lower-scoring games are so often the best.

Brilliant bowling by Durham, giving very little away thus far.

Rebuilding time for Rory Burns and Dom Sibley.

Surrey bat very deep as ever of course, but no Jamie Overton or Tom Curran at number four tonight, these two will knock it around for a few overs to lay a platform before the bowlers come in with the long handle.

Second catch of the over for Turner and that’s a big wicket because Laurie Evans is a dangerous customer.

We’ve got a game on our hands!

Dom Sibley is outscoring Will Jacks with proper cricket shots here.

As mentioned in the first dig, this kind of pitch makes that the way to go over modern white-ball slogs.

Eight off four balls with two drives to the boundary has former England test opener Sibley showing more recent England T20I number three Jacks (four from eight) how to do it.

Bas de Leede will open from t'other end.

If reading aloud to friends or family alongside you, please read Bass as I was sought out and told very directly by Dutch scorer Kate in the PA announcers' box last week!

Three dots a great start for the international allrounder.

A bit of swing for Brydon Carse early on, so much so third ball that he cannot control it and it is an easy wide decision for umpire Martin Saggers.

Dom Sibley - yes the Surrey T20 all-rounder, then 'Warwickshire wall', now in the third phase of his professional career, back at Surrey and aggressive enough to be back in this T20 side?

He finishes the over with a sumptuous drive for four after Will Jacks survives a scare of being run out at the non-strikers'.

The blonde-haired Brydon Carse, back from his ban with just one wicket in 26 overs last week, at the top of his mark ready to steam in.

Will Jacks had career best bowling figures of 7-129 at Trent Bridge last week, but did not bowl a ball tonight, how will he fare with bat in hand?He will face the first ball.
