    What a catch by Laurie Evans, wow! Quite literally plucked out of thin air!

    That ball was middled with the open face of the bat by Luke Hollman.

    He couldn't believe he was caught out there.

    Middlesex are still in this, they're hanging on by their fingertips at the moment.

    It would still be an unbelievable effort from here but they're hanging in there.

    Surrey still have some brilliant bowlers.

  14. At Bristol...published at 21:10 British Summer Time 9 June 2022

    Gloucestershire have posted 101-5 from their 10 overs.

    Dropped catchpublished at 13.5 overs

    Middlesex 132-6 v Surrey 208-7

    Reece Topley takes a horror blow as he's smashed in the shoulder by Luke Hollman attempting to go down the ground.

    Technically it's a drop but the bowler had no chance. Amazingly he stays on his feet and returns straight to his mark. He's made of strong stuff this lad.

    Andersson b Jordan 0 (Middlesex 111-6 v Surrey 208-7)

    A stump-breaker. No, literally!

    A wide from Chris Jordan is followed by a brutal full delivery which breaks middle stump in half!

    New man Martin Andersson goes for a duck.
