    Well that's all we've got time for I'm afraid.

    For those who were at the Oval today, they'll certainly remember two special knocks - Kumar Sangakkara's 166 and Greg Smith's 124.

    But ultimately it was Sangakkara's innings which proved to be match winning.

    We'll be back on Wednesday with live text commentary of the next round of County Championship games as Yorkshire look to wrap up the title.

    Until then, thank you for joining us and goodbye.

    Surrey beat Nottinghamshire by four runs

    "Greg Smith batted exceptionally well for Notts and I enjoyed watching him play, although he hit a few more runs than I would have liked.

    "Sam Curran's ability and presence of mind is exceptional. It has been incredible to watch him develop this season. The next three or four years are going to crucial for him to learn and grow.

    "Playing at Lord’s is always special, it is one of my favourite grounds in the world and after you retire you never think you will play there again. I’m proud I will be able to do that with Surrey."

  3. Surrey captain Gareth Batty told Sky Sports:published at 19:20

    Surrey beat Nottinghamshire by four runs

    "Kumar Sangakkara is the best player of the world even though he has retired. What is a great shame for world cricket is amazing for a county cricket club.

    "The Curran brothers love this stage and are Surrey through and through.

    "It is the pinnacle of the county season to get to play at Lord’s for the final showpiece and it’s a credit to the players that we have got there."

    Surrey beat Nottinghamshire by four runs

    “It slipped away at the end but it was a fantastic game of cricket by both sides. 

    "At one point it looked like we could and probably should have got over the line but when we lost Greg Smith it was always going to be difficult.

    The way Smith played was absolutely phenomenal, especially in his first game in this format for us and I think if he had been there at the end we would have got over the line."

  6. SURREY BEAT NOTTINGHAMSHIRE BY FOUR RUNSpublished at 19:07

    Just to recap, Surrey's innings of 300-5 was driven by one of the finest knocks you could wish to see - 166 from Kumar Sangakarra.

    Greg Smith's brilliant 124 took Notts close, but once he was run out, the visitors' chances faded and they fell short on 296-7.

    Breaking

    Surrey 300-5 (50 overs) v Nottinghamshire 296-7 (50 overs)

    What an incredible finish to a great match as 20-year-old Tom Curran keeps his cool and sends Surrey to Lord's.

    A fumble by wicketkeeper Gary Wilson lets the first ball through and gives Steven Mullaney a couple of runs but the Notts batsman then choose not to take a single off the next ball.

    A couple of well run twos and Mullaney's third four of his innings left Notts  needing six off the final ball but Mullaney can only drive the ball straight to wide long-off to hand Surrey a well earned victory.

    Some finish and I think we all need a lie down after that!

    Some brilliant death bowling on show by Jade Dernbach as he picks up a crucial wicket and only concedes five runs

    Stuart Broad will be on strike for the final over with 20-year-old Tom Curran bowling.

    There is a lot of tension inside the Oval right now.

    Yet another twist in this match as Chris Read steps across his stumps and is bowled by Jade Dernbach.

    Stuart Broad is the new man at the crease.

    Notts' captain Chris Read strides out to join Steven Mullaney who sweeps the ball over the wicketkeeper's head for a boundary.

    A brilliant premeditated shot, which ruins a perfectly good over from Tom Curran.

    A sad end to an excellent innings from Greg Smith as Tom Curran runs out the Notts batsman.

    Steven Mullaney splices the ball back to the bowler and a mix-up between the players sees Smith go at the non-strikers end.

    Notts 274-5 (Smith 124, Mullaney 27)published at 47 overs

    27 runs needed off 18 balls

    Jade Dernbach is back hoping to help Surrey claim the vital wicket of Greg Smith.

    But Steven Mullaney has different ideas as he sends the ball over extra cover for a maximum.

    That was a BIG hit to bring up the 50 partnership between this pair.

    The spectators at the Oval seem just as tense as the players.

  15. Notts 264-5 (Smith 122, Mullaney 19)published at 46 overs

    37 runs needed off 24 balls

    Sam Curran continues with his skipper, Gareth Batty, some 20 years his senior, attempting to provide some words of wisdom.

    It doesn't seem to work though as Greg Smith steps across to the leg side and sends the first ball for four.

    Nine off the over and Notts are looking like they have timed this chase perfectly.

    Target 301

    The Curran brothers obviously like to bowl in tandem as Tom comes back into the fray.

    Notts are running very hard between the wickets and are taking two where only ones should be available.

    Just seven runs from the over. 46 needed off 30 balls.

  18. Notts 248-5 (Smith 111, Mullaney 14)published at 44 overs

    Target 301

    Gareth Batty is placing his faith in his young seam bowler as Sam Curran is brought back.

    After a good two balls Steven Mullaney sends the 17-year-old to the boundary.

    It is all getting a bit manic out there as Mullaney drops his bat running a first run hard and with Greg Smith watching the ball instead of his partner, he's almost run-out at the non-strikers end.

    Which side is going to hold their nerve in the sun at the Oval?

  19. Notts 236-5 (Smith 110, Mullaney 3)published at 43 overs

    Target 301

    Jade Dernbach has struggled a little with his lines and after his first ball is inside edged for four by Greg Smith, he bowls a wide.

    Good running between the wickets from Smith and new man Steven Mullaney sees them sneak a couple when there really only should have been one.

    11 from the over and Notts need 65 runs from 42 balls.

    Notts 225-5 (Smith 102, Mullaney 1)

    Greg Smith reaches his ton as he clips Aneesh Kapil to fine leg for a boundary for just his second List A hundred.

    A crucial innings by the Nottinghamshire batsman, who was brought in with James Taylor away on England duty.

    Notts' hopes surely rest on his shoulders.
