DERBYSHIRE V SURREY at Derby (Metro Bank One-Day Cup)
22 AUGUST 2025

Seventh in Group A hosts eighth. Defeat for one of these, who have only met once in List A cricket since 2015, will end of any remaining hopes they have of moving forward to the knockout phase in this summer's Metro Bank.

The less said about Surrey's 50-over campaign the better, with just two batters (Ryan Patel and Ollie Sykes) averaging over thirty and only the now injured Alex French, 18, posing a serious wicket-taking threat.

The stand-out batsman for Derbyshire has been Tasmanian left-hander Caleb Jewell (247 Metro Bank runs at an average of 61.75). Matt Montgomery - since moving across from Notts - has enjoyed scores of 42, 92 and 47 while Amrit Basra and skipper Brooke Guest have also contributed.

Rory Haydon, a 22-year-old seamer from Staffordshire, has looked a handful with the ball, with 5 wickets at 27.20, as has Ben Aitchison (8 at 28.25), who is well into his sixth season at Derby. By and large, though, Derbyshire's bowling has lacked penetration - particularly against Gloucestershire, who racked up 341-8 at Cheltenham.

If they play, Ralphie Albert and Ollie Hunt will be making their professional debuts. Ari Karvelas, who has 49 List A career wickets, looks set for his first outing as a Surrey player after joining on loan from Sussex. Rory Burns (1,933) is approaching 2,000 List A runs. Turning to the hosts, Harry Came (999) is a whisker away from 1,000 List A career runs, while Caleb Jewell will be making his 50th List A appearance.

Alex French and Cam Steel have joined Ealham, Fisher, Patel and Sibley on the injured list, which means Ralphie Albert, Ollie Hunt and Ari Karvelas could be handed Surrey debuts.

A win for Surrey would be a major, although very welcome, surprise.

H.Came, C.Jewell, M.Montgomery, B.Guest (capt, wk), A.Basra, R.Whiteley, A.Dal, Z.Chappell, B Aitchison, J.Morley and R.Haydon.
