If they are to beat Durham today, Surrey first have to contend with a fast bowler who has discovered a pitch with sufficient bounce to account for accomplished batsmen and whose rhythm and, no doubt, reputation, was such that tailenders backed away when facing him. Stephen Harmison took five wickets in all yesterday, his three in the second innings reducing Surrey to 46 for three, with another searching examination in store for this morning.
--
Surrey were scratching around for victory and hoping Steve Harmison would not have the last word when bad light ended play an hour early at the Oval yesterday.
--
Surrey begin today needing 107 runs with seven wickets remaining to see off Durham, who were indebted to a spell from Steve Harmison which saw the quick bowler take three for 15 off seven overs as the home side limped to 46 for three when bad light curtailed play on day two of their First Division match.
--
That was yesterday.
This morning, starting from 46/3, Surrey managed to knock off the remaining runs (107), losing just the one wicket.
And they scored at a rate of 4.21 runs/over.
