    Evans c & b Andersson 22 (Middlesex v Surrey 99-3)

    Woah what a catch!

    Laurie Evans absolutely smashes the ball back towards bowler Martin Andersson who instinctively sticks a big palm out and somehow holds on to the ball.

    Even Evans is congratulating him. Some caught and bowled that.

  8. Postpublished at 10 overs

    Middlesex v Surrey 99-2

    Laurie Evans is turning the screws as well here. Giving himself room and plopping the ball up and over extra-cover for four.

    The partnership is now on 42 off 24, with Evans claiming 22 of those runs.

  9. Postpublished at 9.3 overs

    Spinner Chris Green sends in a full-toss and Jason Roy is immediately on it, placing the ball through extra-cover for four.

  10. Postpublished at 9 overs

    Middlesex v Surrey 85-2

    Difficult chance from the last ball of the over as Laurie Evans edges the ball just over fly slip.

    I think the fielder got finger tips to that you know, but no joy.

    Chris Peddy
    BBC Sport at Lord's

    This is the Jason Roy show at the moment, he's hit 61 of Surrey's 79 runs.

    He's been doing his best to include the crowd as well with plenty of boundaries, including a flat six into the Grandstand - you wouldn't want to have been in the way of that one.

  12. Postpublished at 8.1 overs

    Middlesex v Surrey 79-2

    Laurie Evans gets in on the action with a beautiful cover drive, dispatching Toby Roland-Jones for four.

    Kevin Hand
    BBC Radio London

    There's been nothing spongey about Jason Roy's batting tonight, he's been blistering and battering that ball everywhere.

    Wow, he's just smacked another one so flat into the Grandstand - be careful down there!

    Leicestershire against Derbyshire and Essex v Hampshire are starting in a few minutes.

    Scythed away for four through the covers from Jason Roy which brings up his 50 off 24 balls.
