Well done to Surrey for winning the CC1. Won ten, drawn two is phenomenal.

Yep and to be fair to them a lot of the players have come through their system so can't complain about poaching most of the players. Well done to them.

I thought we'd thrown it away yesterday by being too aggressive in looking for quick before getting a big enough lead, but we still have a chance.

Yes, they've got a sensible balance between development and recruitment.Be interesting to see how they cope with potential England calls-Pope and Burns certainly the backbone of their batting.

Looks like Derbys are going to edge it.

Just need 9 to win but they've just lost their 9th wicket.

Yep, well done indeed.

We could see a lot of Surrey players in the England frame come winter. Burns, Pope, Curran are likely to be in the squad, and Virdi and possibly Foakes could also be in the frame. Foakes less likely though after Buttler's successful summer.

when you could have 3 wicket keepers in the side anyway, a 4th might not be that much of a hindrance
