    And just like that, Max Holden lofts the ball over extra-cover for four.

  5. Middlesex 71-0 v Surrey 208-7

    Three runs from four balls for Narine so far.

    A much-needed, muted start.

    Final over of the power play starts with a single.

    Chris Peddy
    BBC Sport at Lord's

    The cheers in this Lord's crowd are getting louder with every boundary hit by Middlesex's openers Stephen Eskinazi and Max Holden.

    They've made a great start to this chase of 208 and the fans know we could see two big totals between these great London rivals.

  8. Middlesex 68-0 v Surrey 208-7

    Four more from Max Holden, this one through the covers.

    Unbeaten Surrey are all over the shop.

    And yet another wallop from Max Holden with a four straight past the bowler.

  10. Middlesex 60-0 v Surrey 208-7

    Leicestershire have finished on 181-6 in the East Midlands derby against Derbyshire. Arron Lilley top-scored with 67.

    North Group's bottom side Worcestershire are in all sorts of trouble again at Northants. They've slumped to 21-3, chasing 221 to win. Moeen Ali is one of the wickets to fall.

    In the rain delayed game between Gloucestershire and Somerset, they'll have an inspection at 20:30 BST.

  12. Middlesex 54-0 v Surrey 208-7

    And the over finishes with another Stephen Eskinazi four as he moves to 39 off 14.

    Middlesex are in the box seat.

  13. Middlesex 50-0 v Surrey 208-7

    Indeed. I'm agreeing 100% with Churchy.

    A single from Max Holden brings up Middlesex's 50.

  14. 'Surrey under the pump'

    Middlesex 48-0 v Surrey 208-7

    Mark Church
    BBC Radio London

    For the first time I think Surrey are under the pump in competition this season.

    They've got options of course but it has been very good batting from Steven Eskinazi.

  15. Middlesex 45-0 v Surrey 208-7

    New bowler (Reece Topley returns for his second over) same result.

    Max Holden dispatches him for four down the short boundary.

  16. Middlesex 41-0 v Surrey 208-7

    Last ball of the over, how about another four?

    41 runs from the first three overs, Middlesex are bossing it.

  17. 6 runs

    Middlesex 37-0 v Surrey 208-7

    And two balls later, how about a maximum?

    This is huge from Stephen Eskinazi down the leg side. An excellent start to this Powerplay.

  18. Middlesex 31-0 v Surrey 208-7

    Frustration for the bowler. The next ball Eskinazi picks it for four.

  19. Middlesex 27-0 v Surrey 208-7

    So, so close.

    Daniel Worrall comes into the attack and nearly has Eskinazi second ball, as the skipper edges inches over Reece Topley at short-third man.

  20. Middlesex 22-0 v Surrey 208-7

    Skipper Eskinazi finishes the over off with a cheeky four, clipping the ball off his legs.

    10 runs from Sam Curran's first over.
