Seems a lot of opponents have deliberately prepared roads in the knowledge that Surrey lack a really good spinner.

What’s Shakib Al-Hasan up to?

Maybe, but we've struggled to bowl sides out at The Oval too.

He scored 165 off 165 balls for the seconds against Durham a few weeks back.
Also took 7/54 and 6/116. So a very good few weeks for him!

Edgbaston not looking such a road now that a better attack is having a bowl on it. And Jason Roy's return to red-ball cricket didn't last very long, which I suppose isn't much of a surprise given how little cricket of any variety that he plays nowadays.
EDIT
Sheesh, I've just seen Roy's dismissal. Some would describe it as village green stuff, although that's rather unfair to the blokes who do actually play on greens in villages.

I'm not sure why Yorkshire are still batting. Currently 515 ahead on a pitch that seems to have eased somewhat, you'd think they want as many overs as possible to bowl Essex out.
EDIT
Jonny does agree after all. For a bit, I thought he wanted to reach 3 figures before declaring.
Ah, it was Bairstow who was dismissed before the declaration.

Lancashire once again letting a winning position slip, they look like losing to Northants with the winning line just under 100 runs away with just 2 wickets in hand

Great win for Northants but what on earth has become of Lancs this season? They've been beyond awful.

This might explain a bit of what is going on: https://x.com/LancsCCMG/status/1920827539418763533
Everyone other than the Board at the Club are well aware of that this season is beyond awful. They were awful last year - three innings defeats on the trot - four in total - and heading for their first ever championship wooden spoon this year. Almost everyone on social media is wanting Benkenstein out, after his record in England as coach it isn't surprising - but the real culprits have to be those who were happy to let him stay in post after last's season's disasters. Still every few weeks the Board announce a new sponsorship deal.

Crikey that's strong stuff.
But yes without Harris it's hard to see how Lancs would even be in double figures points-wise at this stage.

Not as bad as Essex's against Yorkshire at home. Losing Cox at the same time as Cook being rested isn't ideal. I'm also not sure why Paul Walter, probably our form batsman, isn't playing. But still, to be at risk of losing by 400 runs at home is abject.
They had inadvertently given the points that Northants won to Lancashire and vice versa.
It's been changed now, Lancs now bottom with 50 pts, Northants up to 5th with 56 pts.
