    WICKET Allen c Overton b Worrall 3published at 1.3 overs

    Yorkshire 9-2

    A second major blow for Surrey.

    Finn Allen tries to take a full-of-length ball over the leg side but there's a fraction of movement away and a bit leading edge flies in the air.

    Jamie O with a second catch and both openers are back in the shed inside nine balls.

    Yorkshire 7-1

    Tom Kohler-Cadmore squeezes the final ball of the over past short-third man and it skips away for four.

    Hard to remember an Oval wicket like this - grass all over it. A used one too.

    Oh this is a massive early blow.

    A pretty ordinary delivery outside off that Adam Lyth goes back to cut.

    It holds a little and he pops it up to short-extra.

    Safe catch from Jamie Overton and 518 group stage runs walk off here for naught.

  6. Key player - Sunil Narine (Surrey)published at 18:26 British Summer Time 6 July 2022

    Four Surrey bowlers have taken 10 or more wickets in the T20 Blast this season - but only one of them, Sunil Narine, will be playing tonight.

    The West Indies leg-spinner has 13 victims so far and his economy rate of 5.91 is the best/lowest in the Surrey team.

    The 34-year-old is also capable, though, of doing significant damage with the bat.

    He hit 52 off 23 balls and 51 not out off 29 in home wins against Hampshire and Middlesex, and he'll want a return to that kind of form after failures in his last two innings.

    With Dawid Malan and Harry Brook away on England duty, Adam Lyth's role at the top of the Yorkshire batting order assumes even greater importance.

    The left-hander has scored 518 runs in the competition, a total bettered only by James Vince, Shan Masood and Adam Hose.

    He smashed 81 off 46 balls against Durham at the Riverside and made 69 and 52 in his last two innings.

    The Vikings need him in the runs again at The Oval.

  9. Form guide - Surrey v Yorkshirepublished at 18:20 British Summer Time 6 July 2022

    This is the 20th season of domestic T20 cricket and tonight is the first time that these two sides have played each other in this format.

    Surrey finished top of South Group after winning nine of their first 10 group games - the other was a no-result - but only one of their final four ended in victory.

    Yorkshire made a stuttering start to the competition, with one win in their first four games - but a run of six victories out of eight last month helped them take fourth place in North Group.

    They were beaten in their last two matches, but will look to turn that form around and reach Finals Day for the first time since 2016.

  10. Teams and tosspublished at 18:17 British Summer Time 6 July 2022

    Surrey v Yorkshire Vikings (play starts 18:30)

    Because England's T20 series against India begins tomorrow, both teams are shorn of key players this evening.

    Surrey will be without skipper Chris Jordan, Jason Roy, Sam Curran and Reece Topley - although Ollie Pope and Jamie Overton are available.

    It's not quite such a long list for Yorkshire, with batters Dawid Malan and Harry Brook absent, and England have allowed Vikings captain David Willey to take part in the game.

    Acting Surrey captain Will Jacks has won the toss and chosen to bowl first.

    Surrey: Jacks (capt) Burns, Pope, Evans, Narine, Overton, Hardie, T Curran, Atkinson, Worrall, Moriarty.

    Yorkshire: Lyth, Allen, Kohler-Cadmore, Willey (capt), Fraine, Khan, Tattersall, Thompson, Hill, Revis, Bess.
