Full marks for Fletch again. Essex batted first and posted a decent score, before Surrey chased. Surrey looked to have it in the bag, but faltered at the final hurdle, losing by 8 runs. Surrey v Essex, 10.30am Sunday

My fear here is that the weather forecast is very poor for Sunday.

That means an early position is risky, as there is a danger that the game could be reduced to a ten over slog.

However, if it looks like being a game of some length, then a look at the pitch will pay dividends.
