Luke Fletcher took a three-wicket maiden as Worcestershire collapsed at Nottinghamshire 8.01pm BST
A decade after his previous County Championship involvement – four matches for Warwickshire in 2011 title – Kemar Roach’s second spell in the competition ends today and he seems determined to sign off with a flourish. Opening the bowling for Surrey he produced a phenomenal spell, taking three wickets in eight overs as Middlesex were reduced to 27 for four.
Since Surrey had found themselves at 135 without loss on the afternoon of day one, 14 wickets had fallen for 82 runs, but Middlesex then staged a recovery of sorts to post a score of 160, with John Simpson’s 100-ball 68 the highlight. Surrey’s second innings was greeted by the unfamiliar sight of sunlight and in the best batting conditions of the match they led by 165 with 10 wickets left at the close. 7.42pm BST
