  4. Jeremy Coney
    Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC 5 Live Sports Extra

    "He's turned the bat too quickly and found the back of the bat.

    "A rather odd dismissal for Ollie Pope."

  5. wicket

    WICKET Pope c Compton b Ball 106

    Surrey 292-3 v Notts

    Shot! A bit of width from Jake Ball and cut away for four by Borthwick.

    A single.

    Clipped high in the air to leg by Ollie Pope... caught!

    The ball was miles down the leg side and Pope followed it. A bit of a soft dismissal.

    Ben Foakes joins Scott Borthwick in the middle.

  7. 100 runs

    100 for Ollie Pope

    Surrey 283-2 v Notts

    Jack Blatherwick bowls...

    Edged! Through third man for four!

    That's his third ton for Surrey in a season where he's racked up more than 500 runs in five games before this one and earned a recall to the England side.

    Not how he'd like to have got there but a fine knock overall.

    165 balls and 13 fours.

  8. Surrey 279-2 v Notts

    Borthwick 114, Pope 99

    Ball gets good pace and carry as the ball fizzes over the shoulder of Borthwick's bat.

    A shorter ball is pulled away for one.

    A push and run to mid on takes Pope to 99 off the last ball.

    Just when we thought you were all going to nominate Essex spinner Simon Harmer as county cricket's 'player of the season', we have an alternative name. Keep sending them in.

    From @Francis58740608: "Surely Marnus Labuschagne deserves player of the season. How many players reached 1000 runs this season? He played way fewer games too! #bbccricket"

  17. dropped catch

    Dropped catch off Borthwick on 110

    Surrey 258-2 v Notts

    It was firmly struck with an open face off Steven Mullaney.

    A very tough chance in the slips for Matt Carter is put down.

  18. Surrey 257-2 v Notts

    Borthwick 110, Pope 88

    Shot! Pope laces Coughlin through cover for four to move to 86.

    One more run off the fifth.

    Steven Mullaney continues from the Vauxhall End.

    Pope gets a single off the first ball and the next one hits the splice of the bat.

    Borthwick wasn't expecting that but manages to keep the ball down.

  19. Stevens still has 'drive & desire' at 43

    Kent all-rounder Darren Stevens says he still has a lot to give the game after signing a new one-year deal which will take him beyond his 44th birthday.
