A sweet stroke from the Essex batsman.

Essex 46-2 v Surrey (target 189)
Essex's Tom Westley swings - aiming straight back down the ground - but via an outside edge he gets a six over backward point.

Essex 25-1 v Surrey (target 189)
Image source, Rex FeaturesAfter conceding a couple of boundaries, Tom Curran's fifth ball has too much pace for Varun Chopra, who edges into his own stumps and falls for 12 runs. Excellent bowling.

Surrey make 188-8published at 20:27 British Summer Time 7 July 2017
So, despite losing wickets throughout, Surrey post a competitive 188-8. It's clearly a good wicket at Chelmsford and with short boundaries, Essex know they're still in the game.
Australia opener Aaron Finch (56) and Dominic Sibley (61) scored the majority of Surrey's runs, with Sam Curran pitching in with 25.
WICKET Sibley (run out Foster) 61published at 20 overs
Essex v Surrey 188-8
Paul Walter to finish up. A single and a two is followed by an inside-edge off a hack down to fine-leg for four from Scott Borthwick.
The left-armer bowls well right up until the final delivery when a no-ball gives Surrey a free-hit. It's carnage off the final ball as Walter bowls Borthwick with a cutter. Borthwick forgets the rules, goes for a run and sends Dominic Sibley a hospital pass. James Foster pulls out the stump with the ball in gloves to finish with a wicket.
